Configure code matches for census, revenue, and salary

The Match Codes driver allows you to set calculation method relationships for the Inpatient Census codes, Revenue-Deduction codes, and Salary-Hour codes used in your plan files. For example, you would match your Patient Days codes with the appropriate Admissions or Discharge code. Additionally, you can match a CMI Adjusted Discharge or Admissions code if additional configuration is needed (please contact your Syntellis implementation consultant). You need to configure this coding to use the Census calculation method.

To configure code matches:

  1. In the RF Admin task pane, in the Setup section, double-click Drivers.

  2. Select the Code Mapping tab, then select the Match Codes subtab.

  3. Complete the following selections as needed:

    Option Instructions
    IP Census Code Matching

    Select the desired match from the Admissions/Discharges Code drop-down.
    Revenue-Deduction Code Matching
    1. To add a revenue and deduction match, click + Insert New Revenue-Deduction Match.

    2. Select the desired matches from the Revenue and Deduction drop-downs.

      NOTE: If you do not allocate or account for deductions at the account level, this step is not necessary.
    Salary-Hour Code Matching
    1. To add a salary code, click + Insert New Salary-Hour Match.
    2. Select the desired code from the Salary drop-down.

    3. Select the desired match from the Hours drop-down, and if desired, select a match from the Benefits drop-down.

      NOTE: You can select multiple benefits.

    IMPORTANT: To prevent Benefit calculations from including Salary Contract data, make sure that if you select E_Salaries_Contract, you do not select a Benefit paring or mapping.
  4. To delete a Revenue or Salary code, select the check box in the delete column next to the code. The code is deleted after you click Save.
  5. To save your changes, in the upper right corner of the page, click Save, and then, in the confirmation dialog, click OK.
