A method for setting advertising budgets (also known as 'per case allowance') according to which a fixed sum for advertising is arrived at based on a forecast of unit sales over the next year. For an excellent account of other methods and other aspects of budget setting, see Simon Broadbent, The Advertising Budget, (Henley-on-Thames: NTC Publications Ltd., 1989).
Flat fee paid for services based on client characteristics (such as diagnosis). For this fee the provider covers all of the services the client requires for a specific period of time. Also called bundled rate, or flat fee-per-case. Very often used as an intermediate step prior to capitation. Also see diagnostic related groups or risk adjustment.
Number of cases disposed per 1,000 juveniles in the population. The population base used to calculate the case rate varies. For example, the population base for the male case rate is the total number of male youth age 10 or older who are under the jurisdiction of the juvenile courts. (See juvenile population.)
A fixed, per-patient rate for delivery of specific procedures or services to specified types of consumers, such as persons with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI), which are often time-limited (e.g., per episode, per year).
A figure used commonly to indicate the marketing expenditure behind a brand by showing support per case sold. A brand's case rate is determined by dividing its total annual marketing budget (advertising, promotion, etc.) by its total case volume.
the number of cases that occur during a certain time period, divided by the size of the population during that time period; the case rate is often expressed in terms of a population size of 100,000 persons
A predetermined "package rate" for delivery of a specified set of procedures or services to a specified population.
The number of reported cases of a specific disease per 100,000 population in a given year.
Flat fee paid for a client's treatment based on their diagnosis and/or presenting problem. For this fee the provider covers all of the services the client requires for a specific period of time. Also bundled rate, or Flat Fee-Per-Case. Very often used as an intervening step prior to capitation. In this model, the provider is accepting some significant risk, but does have considerable flexibility in how it meets the client's needs. Keys to success in this mode: (1) properly pricing case rate, if provider has control over it, and (2) securing a large volume of eligible clients.
