What it is

  1. 1The normalized cost lens over the raw HCRIS Worksheet C table (medicare_silver.hospital_cost_report_dept): typed dept_ccr (double), the charge_as_cost 1.0 sentinel excluded, ratios at or above 10 excluded as parse or units defects, one row per hospital and department.
  2. 2Estimated cost of a service = its gross charge x the dept_ccr of the service's own cost center, found through medicare_silver.hcpcs_cost_center_crosswalk (hcpcs -> cost_center_line).
  3. 3An inpatient MS-DRG spans departments and uses the __OVERALL__ row, labelled by ccr_basis.
