Reporting Medicare bad debt has long been a burdensome process for providers. The recent introduction of Transmittal 18 comes with the potential to drain even more time and resources, as providers must now include additional patient data in reporting to validate and process payments than was previously required.

New reporting requirements could require a deeper dive into billing records, demanding significant additional hours from hospital staff that divert them from other organizational needs.

Alleviate administrative strains, manage risks, and identify future reimbursement opportunities with our professionals helping to identify and report your required data.

Support to Ease Your Reporting Burden

Despite being a potential drain on resources, it’s crucial hospitals file Medicare reimbursement requests promptly and accurately under the new rules. Lack of proper reporting may put your facility at risk for noncompliance, subsequently losing access to future Medicare bad debt reimbursement.

In addition to data extraction, we conduct full audits of your patient accounting systems, reviewing your processes and procedures to help streamline reporting.

We go beyond data mining and reporting of your Medicare billing data to provide comprehensive solutions, supporting you throughout the process.

1. Project Launch. Build relationships with your team to form solutions based on your specific needs.
2. Data Extraction. Extract and report compliant patient level data required for audit in a timely and accurate manner.
3. Audit Preparations.Conduct mock audits and additional research to anticipate and solve potential issues before audit takes place.

5. Future Recommendations. Provide insights on procedural changes that can help make data management and accurate filing for reimbursement easier for your team moving forward.
