THIS IS A QUESTION FROM PENN FOSTERS FINAL EXAM 40976200 NUMBER 4 ON PART B.

YOU'RE AN INPATIENT CODER IN A HOSPITAL. YOU'VE JUST CODED A MEDICARE PART A RECORD WITH A DIAGNOSTIC-RELATED GROUP (DRG) REIMBURSEMENT OF $12000. YOU NOTICE IN THE HOSPITAL'S COMPUTER BILLING SYSTEM THAT THE PATIENT'S CHARGES ARE $19,500. THAT'S $7,500 MORE THAN THE HOSPITAL WILL BE REIMBURSED. HOW DOES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CHARGES GET RESOLVED?

When you type in all-caps, two things happen:
**it's harder to read, and
**it's the online equivalent to SHOUTING (considered rude behavior).

Please just type in regular mode, not with the Caps Lock feature turned on. Thanks.
