Below is a summary of Maya’s electronic health record (EHR) activity during the four hours she is in the ED. As a medical and health services manager, you are responsible for making sure that Maya receives excellent care. You will also figure Maya’s bills, consisting of her tests, procedures, room charges, supplies and medications. Using her EHRs, Virtual Physical Exam (VPE) and Internet research, fill out the billing statements and be prepared to share this information with the rest of Maya’s healthcare team.

To determine the cost of Maya’s ED visit and hospital inpatient stay, you will need the following:
  1. Use the blank copy of Maya’s ED and Inpatient bills and the Bill Reference to calculate her costs.
