Refer tо the previоus prоblems. The Finаnce Office of Gulf Coаst Medicаl Group (GCMG), a large, multispecialty physician group affiliated with a regional academic health system, reported $1,432,600 in direct departmental costs in 2024. These overhead costs must be allocated to GCMG’s five patient service departments using the direct method of cost allocation. The finance team has been instructed to evaluate cost allocation using two possible drivers: 1) number of bills submitted and 2) patient service revenue. In 2024, GCMG’s departments submitted 75,980 bills and reported $17,984,220 in total patient service revenues. Assume that the five patient services departments are Internal Medicine, Dermatology and Aesthetics, Chronic Care Management (CCM), Diagnostics, and Laboratory Services. The number of claims submitted per year and patient services revenue for each department are as follows: Department Number of Claims Submitted per Year Annual Patient Service Revenues Internal Medicine 15098 $5,462,451 Dermatology and Aesthetics 11970 $4,330,667 Chronic Care Management (CCM) 9549 $1,833,531 Diagnostics 21865 $3,453,098 Laboratory Services 17498 $2,904,473 Total 75980 $17,984,220 What is the dollar allocation to the Dermatology and Aesthetics department if patient services revenue is used as the cost driver?
