Finance Inpatient Discount Charge Type Reports

Inpatient Discount and Charge Type Reports

Introduction

The inpatient discount report shows all price adjustments and discounts applied to inward bills during a period — who authorised them, which patients received them, and how much revenue was reduced. The charge type report is a complementary view that cross-references discounts against specific charge categories to identify where discounts are concentrated.

Both reports are used for financial control, audit, and management review.
