Discount Adjustment Factor Sample Clauses

Discount Adjustment Factor. An adjustment was also applied to some HC-reported expenditure data because an evaluation of matched HC/MPC data showed that respondents who reported that charges and payments were equal were often unaware that insurance payments for the care had been based on a discounted charge. To compensate for this systematic reporting error, a weighted sequential hot-deck imputation procedure was implemented to determine an adjustment factor for HC-reported insurance payments when charges and payments were reported to be equal. As for the other imputations, selected predictor variables were used to form groups of donor and recipient events for the imputation process.

Expenditure data for newborns were edited to exclude discharges after birth when the newborn left the hospital on the same day as the mother. As a result, inpatient expenditures reported for 1997 births were usually applied to the mother and not treated as separate expenditures for the infant. However, if a newborn was discharged at a later date than the mother, then the hospitalization was treated as a separate hospital stay for the newborn. This means that in most cases, expenditure data for the newborn is included on the mother’s record. A separate record for the newborn only exists if the newborn was discharged after the mother. In this case, the expenditure for the newborn is on the newborn’s record. In addition, the user should note that for the purposes of the expenditure imputation, deliveries were identified using the variable RSNINHOS which has not been reconciled with pregnancy and delivery ICD-9 codes on this file as well as on HC-018. As mentioned previously, in most instances where RSNINHOS = 4 delivery, the ICD-9 code indicates a pregnancy rather than a delivery. Although a person may have indicated that there was an emergency room visit that preceded this hospital stay (EMERROOM), there was no verification that, in fact, the emergency room visit was actually recorded within the Emergency Room Section of the questionnaire. While it is true that all of the event files can be linked by DUPERSID, there is no unique record link between hospital inpatient stays and emergency room visits. That is, a person could have one hospital inpatient stay and three emergency room visits during the calendar year. While the hospital inpatient stay record may indicate that it was preceded by an emergency room visit, there is no unique record link to the appropriate (of the three) emergency room visit. However...

  • Interest Factor With respect to this Floating Rate Note, accrued interest is calculated by multiplying the principal amount of such Note by an accrued interest factor. The accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the particular Interest Reset Period. The interest factor for each day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which the CD Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Open Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, or by the actual number of days in the year, in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis. In the case of a series of Notes that bear interest at floating rates as to which the Constant Maturity Swap Rate is the Interest Rate Basis, the interest factor for each day will be computed by dividing the number of days in the interest period by 360 (the number of days to be calculated on the base is of a year of 360 days with twelve 30-day months (unless (i) the last day of the interest period is the 31st day of a month but the first day of the interest period is a day other than the 30th or 31st day of a month, in which case the month that includes that last day shall not be considered to be shortened to a 30-day month, or (ii) the last day of the interest period is the last day of the month of February, in which case the month of February shall not be considered to be lengthened to a 30-day month)). The interest factor for a Floating Rate Note as to which the interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only the applicable Interest Rate Basis specified above applied.
