2. Now focusing on our service line performance, despite our department charges being higher than the previous year, our net revenue has decreased slightly from prior YTD. Our total department encounters did increase in that time period, however. Our payer mix shifted slightly, with Payer A increasing by 10% (to 65% total) and Payer B decreasing by 10% (to 30% total). Payer C made up most of the difference. As you all may know, Payer A reimburses us about 105% of Medicare, whereas Payer B pays us 125% of Medicare. Then how is our department revenue down from last year? As you said, we are all seeing more patients than before. Is 105% of Medicare better or worse than 125% of Medicare? If a payer reimburses us poorly, why do we see those patients at all
