By reducing the financial burden of care on a hospital’s financial assistance-eligible population, they can enjoy many benefits besides alleviating that burden on their low-income patients.

Topic: How to Become a Medicare Reimbursement Star

Program Content: The difficult reality facing hospitals and health systems is that margins are plummeting, labor expenses are increasing, and outpatient activity is down. Last year is shaping up to be the worst operating year we have ever seen in the hospital sector, with 2023 set to be a make-or-break year for many. Additionally, Medicare reimbursement cuts are expected to continue cutting deeper into hospitals’ Medicare-specific margins. Hospitals must do all that they can to uncover every single dollar to which they are entitled. Many CFOs do not view the Medicare Cost Report as a revenue producer, but with the right knowledge about policies and procedures, any hospital can be promoted to a Reimbursement Star. In this session, we will dive into best practices for three reimbursement components that still have and will continue to have a significant bottom line impact. These areas include Medicare Bad Debt (MBD), Disproportionate Share (DSH) and Uncompensated Care (S-10). Our presenters bring over 70 years of experience to the table. These experts are very passionate on this topic and will bring you the most up-to-date regulatory information and speak about best practices that they see at hospitals across the country.
