 ===== COST table =====
+**THIS IS OUTDATED. All documentation is now on the [[https://github.com/OHDSI/CommonDataModel/wiki|github wiki]]. Please refer there or to the [[projects:workgroups:cdm-wg|CDM working group]] for more information**
+This table was added with version 5.0.1 (5-Apr-2016) of the OMOP CDM. It replaces the [[documentation:cdm:visit_cost|VISIT_COST]], [[documentation:cdm:procedure_cost|PROCEDURE_COST]], [[documentation:cdm:drug_cost|DRUG_COST]] and [[documentation:cdm:device_cost|DEVICE_COST]] tables.
+----
+This table changed in version 5.X of the OMOP CDM. The fields DRG_concept_id and DRG_source_value were added.
+----
 The COST table captures records containing the cost of any medical entity recorded in one of the DRUG_EXPOSURE, PROCEDURE_OCCURRENCE, VISIT_OCCURRENCE or DEVICE_OCCURRENCE tables. It replaces the corresponding DRUG_COST, PROCEDURE_COST, VISIT_COST or DEVICE_COST tables that were initially defined for the OMOP CDM V5. However, it also allows to capture cost information for records of the OBSERVATION and MEASUREMENT tables.
-The information about the cost is defined by the amount of money paid by the Person and Payer, or as the charged cost by the healthcare provider. So, the COST table defines both cost and revenue, irrespective of the perspective. The cost_type_concept_id field will use concepts in the Vocabulary to designate the source of the cost data. A reference to the health plan information in the PAYER_PLAN_PERIOD table is stored in the record that is responsible for the determination of the cost as well as some of the Payments.

 ==== Conventions ====
 The COST table will store information reporting money or currency amounts. There are three types of cost data, defined in the cost_type_concept_id: 1) paid or reimbursed amounts, 2) charges or list prices (such as Average Wholesale Prices), and 3) costs or expenses incurred by the provider. The defined fields are variables found in almost all U.S.-based claims data sources, which is the most common data source for researchers. Non-U.S.-based data holders are encouraged to engage with OHDSI to adjust these tables to their needs.
-One cost record is generated for each response by a payer. In a claims databases, the payment and payment terms reported by the payer for the goods or services billed will generate one cost record. If the source data has payment information for more than one payer, and the service has payment from more than one payer (i.e. primary insurance and secondary insurance payment for one entity), then a cost record is created for each reporting payer. Therefore, it is possible for one procedure to have multiple cost records for each payer, but typically it contains one or no record per event. Payer reimbursement cost records will be identified by using the payer_plan_id field. Goods or services services not covered by a payer are indicated by 0 values in the amount_allowed and patient responsibility fields (copay, coinsurance, deductible) as well as a missing payer_plan_period_id. This means the patient is responsible for the total_charged value.

-  * cost_type_concept_id: The concept referenced in this field defines the source of the cost information, and therefore the perspective. It could be from the perspective of the payer, or the perspective of the provider. Therefore, "cost" really means either cost or revenue, and the direction of funds (incoming and outgoing) as well as the modus of it's calculation is defined by this field.

   * total_charged and total_cost: The cost of the goods or services the provider provides is often not known directly, but derived from the hospital charges multiplied by an average cost-to-charge ratio. This data is currently available for [[https://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/db/nation/nis/nisdbdocumentation.jsp|NIS]] datasets, or any other [[https://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/databases.jsp|HCUP]] datasets. See also cost calculation explanation from AHRQ [[https://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/db/state/costtocharge.jsp|here]].
   * total_paid: This field is calculated using the following formula: paid_by_payer + paid_by_patient + paid_by_primary. In claims data, this field is considered the calculated field the payer expects the provider to get reimbursed for goods and services, based on the payer's contractual obligations.

   * amount_allowed: This information is generally available in claims data.  This is similar to the total_paid amount in that it shows what the payer expects the provider to be reimbursed after the payer and patient pay.  This differs from the total_paid amount in that it is not a calculated field, but a field available directly in claims data. The field is payer-specific and the payer should be indicated by the payer_plan_id field.
   * paid_by_primary does contribute to the total_paid variable. The paid_by_primary field is only used for reporting a patient's primary insurance payment amount reported on the secondary payer insurance claim. If the source data has actual primary insurance payments (e.g. the primary insurance payment is not a derivative of the payer claim and there is verification another insurance company paid an amount to the provider), then the primary insurance payment should have its own cost record with a payer_plan_id set to the applicable payer, and the actual primary insurance payment should be noted under the paid_by_payer field.
