Wage Index Reviews

Bookmark and Share
An acute care hospital’s wage index data is a vital component to the hospital’s overall wage index. Changes of just 1% in an area’s overall wage index can often result in a significant reimbursement opportunity to a hospital.

BKD Health Care Group’s wage index reviews help hospitals comply with complex rules and identify areas for improvement. Our wage index solutions include:

  • Review data and compare with the metropolitan statistical area (MSA)
  • Review supporting documentation used to compile the cost report wage index data
  • Interview and confer with hospital staff to verify hours, benefits and other key components are properly reported
  • Facilitate strategy planning sessions with key hospital personnel
  • Conduct education sessions with key hospital personnel
  • Help assess CMS public use wage index files
  • Assist hospital in submission of corrections to the fiscal intermediary and CMS
