Cost Reports - Rural Hospitals
Because there are so many reimbursement issues and strategies unique to rural hospitals, we frequently find hospitals overlooking appropriate reimbursement options. The foundation of BKD National Health Care Group’s hospital practice has been rural hospitals, including rural referral centers, sole community hospitals, Medicare-dependent hospitals and critical access hospitals.
We regularly speak on rural hospital reimbursement strategies at state, regional and national conferences, and our Health Care News newsletter includes articles specific to rural hospital reimbursement issues.
Our more than 40 years of experience with issues unique to rural hospitals enables us to provide insights and ideas to help you make smart reimbursement decisions. Our solutions include:
- Prepare cost reports
- Evaluate special rural designations and other payment exceptions
- Perform capital financing analyses and feasibility studies
- Recommend improvements to case management reimbursement
- Recommend improvements to post-acute care reimbursement
- Evaluate reimbursement changes created by new laws and regulations
- Assess compliance and risk
- Recommend improvements to swing-bed operations and reimbursement
- Analyze interim contracts and settlements
- Provide support to charge description master and coding billing
- Assist with strategic planning
