You have been asked to establish a pricing structure for radiology on a per-procedure basis. Present budgetary data is presented below:

Number of Budgeted Procedures10,000Budgeted Cost$400,000Desired Profit$ 80,000

It is estimated that Medicare patients comprise 40 percent of total radiology volume and will pay on average $38.00 per procedure. Approximately 10 percent of the patients are cost payers. The remaining charge payers are summarized below:

Payer Volume % Discount %

Blue Cross 20 4

Unity 15 10

Kaiser 10 10

Self-Pay 5 40

50%

Your supervisor recommends the following method to set rate per procedure in order to generate the required $80,000 in profit.

Weighted Discount = (0.4 x 0.04) + (0.30 x 0.10) + (0.20 x 0.10) + (0.10 x 0.40)= 0.106

Price = ($400,000 10,000) + ($80.000 + 4,000 ($40.00 - $38.00) 5,000)
