GME Solutions typically recovers $50,000 – $150,000 per year for our hospital clients minimizing DGME penalty impact
Measurable success based on proficiency of Government Policy Development and extensive ongoing evaluation and understanding of procedures
In addition to the FTE cap and weighting of residents outside their initial residency period, hospitals are penalized for training residents outside their initial residency while over the cap. To minimize this penalty it is imperative to a hospital to have reported the weighted FTE counts accurately. We can assist in the review of the weighted FTE count. Inaccurate weighted counts can reduce the amount of reimbursement. This type of review results in a $125,000 increase in reimbursement, on average.
Establishing Graduate Medical Education programs includes navigating through large amounts of data, documentation, and complex regulations. GME Solutions can work with your team on providing Medicare Reimbursement projections for establishing Graduate Medical Education residency programs, while keeping your hospital’s Medicare reimbursement needs as our primary objective.
Major academic medical centers training residents in unaccredited ACGME/AOA programs may be eligible to receive reimbursement for these residents. We prepare the documentation and necessary reports with the MAC to negotiate final settlement. Although the payment method differs from the GME and IME payment methodology, we have successfully recovered $15,000 - $25,000 per eligible resident enrolled in Medicare non-approved teaching programs.
Rotation schedules are important to both the Graduate Medical Education (GME) departments as well as the Finance Department. However, the uses for the rotation schedules in each department could not be more different. GME Solutions provides educational seminars for the Graduate Medical Education departments in order to give details on what information the Finance Department needs to have included in rotation schedules to ensure proper Medicare reimbursement.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to successfully appeal or reopen cost reports. This puts pressure on providers to file correctly the first time.
