Rate Determination (Qualifiers) Entry Panel

The Rate Determination (Qualifiers) Entry panel works the same way as the Rate Determination (Elements) Entry panel (section Rate Determination (Elements) Entry Panel). The panel allows you to override existing rate information with your own values. It recalculates the values of the display/entry fields based on the changes you specify.

The panel below is a sample Rate Determination (Qualifiers) Entry Panel.

Note:

• The Qualifiers column lists the name of the qualifiers forwhich CA PMA Chargeback displays rate information (see A. on the next panel)
• The Mod column indicates whether CA PMA Chargeback applied a modifier to the qualifier record or not (see B. on the next panel)
• The application uses the Units column and Totals for Units fields for display purposes. These fields can only be set by using the Forecasting function (see C. and D. on the next panel)
• All numeric display/entry fields, except %Of-Tot can be in units (U), thousands (K), millions (M), billions (B), or in trillions (T). The factor used for each display field is shown next to the field.

A description of the Rate Determination (Qualifiers) Entry panel follows.

Access

The Rate Determination (Qualifiers) Entry panel appears when you enter Q for Qualifiers in the C column next to an element on the Rate Determination (Elements) Entry panel.

Scrolling

F7 and F8 let you scroll backward and forward through the Rate Determination Entry panel. You can also use the scroll bar, as explained on page Sample List Panel, to move through the panel.

You can also scroll left and right, by period number, through the Rate Determination Entry panel using F5 and F6 or by placing the cursor on the < or > symbol on the scroll bar and pressing Enter.

Input

The following Rate Determination Entry panel fields are available for input:

Period

A three-digit numeric field used to specify the period for which CA PMA Chargeback displays rates. If you want rate information for another period, specify the new period in place of the one displayed and press Enter.

C

(Command column) used to calculate C any changes you specify for the column entries. Changes made to qualifier values affect the value of the associated charge element for the given period.

Cost

Field used to specify the charge to be recovered. The system automatically adjusts rates to recover this amount.

S

(Scale) Field used to indicate whether the cost for each qualifier is in thousands (K) , units (U), millions (M), billions (B), or in trillions (T).

Pathway

Enter

By entering a C. in the command column next to a qualifier, and pressing Enter CA PMA Chargeback recalculates the values for all numeric fields using any entries you specify.
