Bill of Material Invoice - Hospital Bills

Bill of Material Invoice - Hospital Bills

The Hospital Invoice Bills in the future could be a complete bill of material invoice that lists the charges based on the different categories of treatment, consumables, services,food,stay and so on.  

For example the emergency bill of material invoice when an ambulance is involved could be billed that lists category wise entries and their charges in the bill.

Ambulance Charges - Category

1. Distance Traveled 30 KMS - 30*10 = Rs. 300

2. Driver Charges - Rs. 150

3. On Board Treatment or Procedural charges in Ambulance - ProcedureName - Rs. 1,500

4. On Board Consumables charges - MRP

5. Nurse or Technician or Doctor on Board Service Charge - Rs. 1,000

Hospital Charges - Category

1. Admissions Charges  - Rs. 150

2. ICU for n number of days - n* Rs. ICU Rate

3. Procedure or Surgery charges A, B, C, D and F - Rate for A, B, C, D, F

4. Doctor, Nurse and Technician Service Charges or consultation charges

5. CGST, SGST

6. Other Taxes as applicable.


In case of OutPatient the Bill Of Material Charges could be,

1. ONE time Registration Charges

2. Visit Charges - Reception, Support Staff Service Charges

3. Consultation Charges - Spit up Doctor, Nurse, Technician charges

4. Procedural Charges - A, B, C, D

5. Follow Up Visits Charges - As applicable as per doctor advice, waived for observation, study, and to understand the improvement in the patient complication or condition.  This is very important to waive off Follow up visit charges from the hospitals to ensure that the Patient indeed visits the hospital as per the advice of the doctor and this helps the doctor to study, understand, observe the improvements, learn lessons and improve her experience level which in turn helps the hospitals brand image.

6. Follow up Visit charges - As applicable as per doctor advice, based on Next level consultation or Procedural charges.

7. Consumable Charges 

and so on would enable, bring transparency, easy auditing, categorize the revenues from different categories, to calculate the profit or balance sheet in summary as each category wise.   This probably would help the hospitals to find any gaps, loopholes or to determine or optimize the cost in the best interest of the hospital and patients.

Hope this makes sense.
