F. Average Cost Estimates

6. In the PTF, how do you categorize the bedsections into 10 categories?

The ten categories are:

0. Inpatient Medicine/ Surgery
1. Inpatient Rehabilitation
2. Inpatient Blind Rehabilitation
3. Inpatient Spinal Cord
5. Inpatient Psychiatry
6. Inpatient Substance Abuse
7. Inpatient Intermediate
8. Inpatient Domiciliary
9. Inpatient Long Term
10. Psychosocial Residential Rehabilitation Programs (PRRTP)
Notes

Number 4 is surgery, but this becomes combined with category 0. The skip in number from 3 to 5 maintains consistency with average daily rates calculated before FY98.
