Payer mix

Build the case from sourced evidence and explicit owner requests. These are requested inputs, not measured NYU facts.

Start with the public evidence

Establish an inpatient discharge cohort and published payment exposure, then keep the remaining operating inputs explicit.

Read the cohort and post-acute analysis method

SPARCS discharge records: choose facility, year and APR cohort

TEAM participation: distinguish membership from episode eligibility

SNF, IRF and home-health payment tables: match year, geography and units

Need owner: NYU revenue cycle analytics

Same cohort and period as volume. Separate Medicare, Medicare Advantage and identified commercial plans. Public mix is a proxy until cohort correspondence is established. Status: need.
