Definicja flat rate patient

Patient for whose case the expenses incurred are billed for using a flat rate per case.

Only in exceptional circumstances can other charge types (procedures surcharge for repeated surgeries, for example) be billed for on top of the flat rate per case.

A flat rate patient becomes a budget patient during a case if his or her length of stay reaches the maximum length of stay covered by the flat rate per case. The days of the patient's stay as of when the maximum length of stay of the flat rate per case is reached are billed for using daily nursing charges.
