Fixed Fee Profiles
Fixed Fees Profiles are predetermined price packages for specific procedures and treatments. Fixed Fee profiles are used in scenarios where Patients undergo certain procedures or treatments which involve multiple services, such as surgeries, diagnostic tests, and post-operative care. Instead of charging separately for each item and procedure, Hospitals have a fixed fee profile that includes all necessary services related to the specific medical condition or procedure.
