Bad debt does not have to be a closed case. BKD Health Care Group can help identify, capture, report and recoup Medicare inpatient, outpatient and crossover bad debt reimbursement your hospital is entitled to. Our recovery solutions apply retrospectively to open and re-openable cost reporting years, concurrently to Medicare log preparation and prospectively through process improvements.

BKD’s process, combined with Medicare audit and patient accounting experience, utilizes provider- and fiscal intermediary-source patient data, including Provider Summary Report (PSR), Medicare and Medicaid remittance data, collection agency data and hospital-specific policies and procedures.

Using these resources, our CPAs and advisors identify coinsurance and deductible dollars that qualify for Medicare reimbursement. We accumulate, organize and document the support to substantiate patient accounts. The result: you have the information to create and maintain an accurate Medicare bad debt log.
