You are reviewing the number of MS-DRGs submitted over the past year. The MS-DRG that jumped out was MS-DRG 305, which is hypertension without a MCC. There were 53 submissions of this MS-DRG. After reviewing all 53 cases in MS-DRG 305, you determine that 46 of them have the same error. Correcting the errors results in reassignment of those cases to a different MS-DRG. Compare the relative weights of the two MS-DRGs (below). Calculate the impact this has on reimbursement if the hospital base rate is $7862. Version 37.0
DRG 684
Medicare Weight 0.6153
Total $2583.19
Version 37.0
DRG 305
Medicare Weight 0.7315

the area of a triangle is determined by the formula: base x height * 1/2

you'll need to assign a base to the triangle. based on the vertices given, the simplest base would be the line segment from (-2,1) to (2,1). the distance between any two numbers is found by just subtracting them. here, you should subtract the x values to find the distance of this side.

2 - (-2) = 4.

so the distance (aka the length of the base) is 4. the height of the triangle is the distance between the base and the highest point on the triangle which is (3,4). we should subtract the y values this time to find the height/distance.

4 - 1 = 3

so the height is 3.

base = 4

height = 3

hope this if needed hmu

can you post a picture or something
