  • Methods, apparatuses, and systems for deriving an expected emergency department visit level
    Patent number: 11289205
    Abstract: Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities for deriving an expected emergency department visit level are described. In one example embodiment, an example computing device receives a set of healthcare claims representing a patient's visit to an emergency department and extracts a set of treatment codes from the set of healthcare claims. The treatment codes represent services performed during the emergency department visit and the condition of the patient. The example computing device also derives a standard value, an extended value, and a patient complexity adjustment using the set of treatment codes and determines the expected emergency department visit level using the standard value, the extended value, and the patient complexity adjustment.
