Acuity Acuity can be used to identify how sick the patient is or to identify the patient's R&B Institute rate level (RUG score). Acuity levels are assigned to a patient in the Billing Module Patient file Other tab. Optional.
To Add an Acuity: Press the Add button. Assign a Code and enter a Description. Up to 12 alphanumeric characters can be used for the code, but shorter codes are recommended. If adding acuities for Room & Board facility billing levels and you do not need to bill by RUG score (i.e.one flat rate per facility will be billed), an acuity code of "NOACUITY" should be created here. The NOACUITY code should be added to the Daily Rate tab of each R&B Institute (File > File Maintenance > Entity). Patients with no acuity assigned will be billed the NOACUITY rate amount for their facility. Press Save when done.
