Beginning in 2006, please see REVCHGn for detailed charge information. CHGn is no longer included in KY SID.

Detailed charges (CHGn) are associated with identified revenue centers (REVCDn) and units of service (UNITn). For example, CHG1 applies to the revenue center in REVCD1 and the units of service specified in UNIT1. Kentucky reports detailed charges (CHGn) associated with standard UB-92 revenue codes stored in REVCDn. Kentucky does not collapse or redefine ranges of revenue codes.

In addition, prior to data year 2005, information on total charges (revenue center 001) was removed from the detailed charge arrays. (CHGn, REVCDn, and UNITn). Information on total charges is available in the HCUP variables TOTCHG and TOTCHG_X.

Beginning in 2006, REVCHGn field includes information about detailed charges associated with the identified revenue centers (REVCDn) and the units of service (UNITn). CHGn is no longer included in the MD SASD files.

Two types of detailed charges were provided in 2001:

• Beginning in July 2001, detailed charges (CHGn) are associated with the identified revenue centers (REVCDn) and the units of service (UNITn). For example, CHG1 applies to the revenue center in REVCD1 and the units of service specified in UNIT1.
• From January 2001 to June 30, 2001, Maryland supplied eight specific charges without revenue codes or units. To be compatible with the revenue code specific charges and units provided starting in July 2001, revenue codes (REVCDn) were imputed on records in January through June 2001 and units (UNITn) were set to missing (.). Revenue codes in January through June 2001 were assigned as follows:
• CHG1 - Room and Board - REVCD1 set to "101" (All inclusive Room and Board)

• CHG3 - Drug - REVCD3 set to "250" (General Classification Pharmacy)

• CHG6 - Medical Supplies - REVCD6 set to "270" (General Classification Med/Surg Supplies)
