Factors profitable for hospitals were medical treatments/ surgery (b= 0.032; p= 0.552). Factors that inflicted financial loss were class 1 care (b= -0.104; p= 0.094), class 2 care (b= -0.033; p= 0.590) compared to class 3 care, length of stay (b= -0.541; p<0.001), medication use in accordance with national formulation (b= -0.183; p= 0.008) and the use of ICU (b= -0.045; p= 0.543). Patients who upgraded the class type (mean= Rp 5,526,074; SD= Rp 1,449,621) was higher than hospitalââ¬â¢s medical cost for class 2 (mean= Rp 3,933,767; SD= Rp 1,887,900).Conclusion: Mean of INA CBGs reimbursement on inpatient care of chronic renal disease is lower than the mean of hospitalââ¬â¢s medical care cost.
