Admin — Inpatient Price Adjustments
Inpatient Price Adjustments allow administrators to override the standard fee for a specific service, investigation, pharmacy item, or store item for a specific BHT. This is useful when a negotiated rate or a one-off exception applies to a particular patient or admission.

How It Works
Each price adjustment record links:
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| BHT / Admission | The specific admission this adjustment applies to |
| Item | The service, investigation, pharmacy item, or store item |
| Adjusted Fee | The overriding fee to use instead of the standard fee |
| Reason | Free-text reason for the adjustment |
When the final bill is processed, the adjusted fee replaces the standard fee for matching bill line items on that BHT.
Difference from Discount Matrix
| Feature | Price Adjustment | Discount Matrix |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Per-BHT (individual admission) | Global (all admissions matching the rule) |
| Mechanism | Overrides the fee amount directly | Applies a percentage discount |
| Use case | Negotiated rate, one-off exception | Standard discount policy for a patient category |
