Dialysis Payer Mix Calculator

The blended price is the real number

Most centers quote a 'session price' as if there were one. In practice, the same chair generates different revenue depending on who pays: cash, insurance/TPA at negotiated rates, and government schemes. The payer-mix blended price is the number that belongs in your revenue and breakeven models.

Tracking the mix over time matters: as a center matures, scheme share can creep up and silently drag the blended price down even as sessions grow. Recompute this monthly against the billing register.

Using the blended price downstream

• Feed the blended price into the revenue calculator for monthly top-line
• Compare it against the session-cost calculator to see contribution per session
• Use it in the breakeven calculator to find the session count that covers fixed costs
• Renegotiate the lowest-paying stream first — small price moves on a large share move the blend
