Prepare a revenue cycle plan for a community hospital.  Include the following information in your plan:

• Introduction
• Evaluation  of clinical data required for payment and reimbursement systems (PPS,  DRG, RBRVS, RUGs, VBP, Billing/insurance plans).
• Explanation of chargemaster and claims management applications and processes.
• Assess the effect on healthcare finance of revenue management (cost reporting, budget variances).
• Summarize revenue cycle management and reporting processes (CCI, X12N).
• Evaluation of the severity of illness and how it impacts the healthcare payment systems.

The  format of this plan is like a policy and procedure but is a longer  document. Compile your document based on the findings and collection of  information for each of the requirements.
