What it is
The share of your cases, or your units, paid by each type of payer: commercial, Medicare, Medicaid, self-pay and others.
Why it matters
Commercial plans usually pay much more per unit than Medicare, and Medicare usually pays more than Medicaid. A shift of a few points in your mix can change your revenue noticeably.
How to use it
- Track mix by facility
- Use it to decide which new facilities to take on
- Use it to support a stipend request when a facility's mix doesn't cover your costs
