Comments
Guide for use:
If there is an expected funding source followed by a finalised actual funding source (for example, in relation to compensation claims), then the actual funding source known at the end of the reporting period should be recorded.
The expected funding source should be reported if the fee has not been paid but is not to be waived.
If a charge is raised for accommodation or facility fees for the episode/service event, the intent of this data element is to collect information on who is expected to pay, provided that the charge would cover most of the expenditure that would be estimated for the episode/service event. If the charge raised would cover less than half of the expenditure, then the funding source that represents the majority of the expenditure should be reported.
The major source of funding should be reported for nursing-home type patients.
Context:Admitted patient care.
Hospital non-admitted patient care.
