Yes, we do! There is a procedure code and corresponding rate for each type of medical procedure/service that can be done, and that includes ER visits. For example, when I went to the ER for an ankle issue, I was billed for https://www.aapc.com/codes/cpt-codes/99284 which had a corresponding rate of $1072.50 for my insurance. So we can predict what the cost of the visit is. However, emergency care is much more difficult to predict the total cost of in terms of what gets done during the visit. For my visit, I also had x-ray imaging done, but it can be more difficult to predict the full scope of services that could be done during an ER visit. So it is something we plan to address later. But it should be a tractable problem that we plan to solve. |
