Method for Calculating Medical Fees
Our hospital calculates hospitalization fees based on the Diagnosis and Procedure Combination (DPC) classification system that determines a fixed daily cost for the combination of the patient's illness and symptoms and the treatment required. In addition, for operations, rehabilitation, radiation therapy, etc., medical fees are calculated for each medical procedure using the “pay-as-you-go method,” which is added to the fixed costs.
If the patient's illness does not fall under any of the DPC classification groups, or if the patient is hospitalized for dental or oral surgery, or admitted to the psychiatric ward, palliative care center, or the Intensive Inpatient Rehabilitation Ward, the fees will also be calculated by the pay-as-you-go method.
