Cost Reports - Integrated Delivery & Large Urban Systems

BKD Health Care Group’s more than 400 hospital and health system clients include large multiple-hospital systems, large free-standing urban health systems and teaching hospitals. We are experienced in the reimbursement and cost report issues unique to these systems, including disproportionate share, Indirect Medical Education (IME) and Graduate Medical Education (GME) and bad debts.

Our hospital consultants frequently speak on reimbursement topics at state, regional and national conferences, and our Health Care News newsletter includes articles specific to reimbursement issues for large facilities.

Our 40 years of experience with reimbursement issues enables us to help large health care systems go beyond their numbers to make smart business and financial decisions. Our solutions include:
  • Prepare cost reports
  • Enhance disproportionate share, including electronic verification of eligible days
  • Help implement Direct Medical Education (DME) programs
