Under the Medicare reimbursement regulations, a discharging hospital is paid at a reduced rate when certain patients are transferred to other providers to continue treatment. In some cases this reduced payment is not justified by the actual post-discharge care.

Beyond the transferring hospital’s control, some patients are not treated as planned after being transferred. This results in a reduction in the transferring hospital’s Medicare reimbursement.

According to BESLER, properly reviewing the post-transfer care that patients receive and identifying underpayment situations can provide hospitals with a significant revenue boost.

"We’re looking forward to working with The University of Arizona Medical Center on the recovery of Transfer DRG underpayments."

BESLER uses proprietary software to efficiently work through the identification and follow-up tasks required to validate the accuracy of post-acute care transfer billing and to ensure compliance.
