Previously we have introduced a modelling framework to classify individuals in Mixed Coxian Phase-type Systems. We here add costs and obtain results for moments of total costs in (0, t], for an individual, and a cohort arriving at time zero. Based on data from the Belfast City Hospital Stroke Unit we use the overall modelling framework to obtain results for total cost in a given time interval to facilitate planners who have limited time horizons for budget planning.
