Ministry Health Care, an integrated healthcare delivery network headquartered in Wisconsin, has selected BESLER Consulting, a provider of comprehensive revenue integrity services to healthcare organisations, to assist in the identification of Medicare Transfer DRG underpayments.

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.

Ministry Health Care selected BESLER 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.

BESLER also offers the BVerified suite of web-based solutions, which allows providers to identify, prioritise and recover Medicare underpayments in-house.

After undergoing a rigorous review, BESLER’s Transfer DRG Revenue Recovery Service was awarded the "Peer Reviewed by HFMA" designation by the Healthcare Financial Management Association.
