What does case-mix index mean to you? The financial department monitors case-mix index (CMI), and in an ideal world, the hospital’s CMI would be as high as possible. A high CMI means the hospital performs big-ticket services and therefore receives more money per patient. To calculate CMI, choose a time period (e.g., one month) to examine. Within that time, take all the DRGs your hospital billed and add up the relative weights (RW). Now, divide that number by the total number of DRGs. What you are left with is your hospital’s CMI for that month.

CHAA Certification Case Mix Index. Case Mix Index is determined by dividing the sum of all Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) relative weights for every DRG used by Medicare patients by the total number of Medicare inpatient cases for the hospital.
