Healthcare organizations nationwide are navigating tighter margins and shrinking reimbursement rates. That's why considering opportunities from Medicare bad debt is one way to find additional reimbursements.

Mark explains what types of bad debt are and aren't allowable under Medicare rules, the challenges of collecting bad debt, and how healthcare facilities can minimize those challenges. This is an especially good episode for healthcare providers trying to wrap their arms and heads around all the rules … or for anyone who enjoys obscure government regulation trivia.

In 1977, a young accountant named Casey Peterson decided to take a bit of a risk and start his own firm. He did so, in part, because he thought there might be a better way to do business and relate to clients and employees. More than 45 years later, a couple of those employees sat down with him to ask what he meant by “a better way,” what he's learned during all those years … and what it's like to have your name on a big building. Casey, like any good western South Dakotan, is a heckuva storyteller, so you're gonna like this one.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, those facilities have to submit an annual cost report to a Medicare Administrative Contractor. MACs work as a kind of intermediary between healthcare facilities and CMS. Cost reports contain provider information such as: Facility characteristics Utilization data Cost and charges by cost center Medicare settlement data Financial statement data CMS maintains the cost report data in the Healthcare Provider Cost Reporting Information System. Below are some high-level questions you can ask yourself when you're gathering allocation statistics and filing out a cost report. Questions when filing out Worksheet B-1: Does housekeeping clean all the areas with a stat? Are offsite locations (potential examples: Therapy, RHC, HHA, etc.) receiving an allocation from the cafeteria, housekeeping, or another supporting area they don't use? Are there better ways to allocate A&G costs (i.e., segmentation)? Does central supply/purchasing order for all departments, or do some departments do their own ordering (e.g., lab, pharmacy, etc.)? Does maintenance provide services to leased buildings? Why are the non-reimbursable areas receiving allocations? Are those correct? If so, is there a way to limit the allocations? Is there a way to deflect costs from non-cost based/nonallowable cost centers? Can you direct cost certain costs for specific areas versus using allocation statistics? When was the last time you updated your square-footage statistics? If it's been more than a year, it's a good idea to make sure the square-footage stats are up to date.
