Optimizing Medicare Payments
State health care agencies often have the potential to increase Medicare reimbursements for services, but lack the resources to identify and pursue every opportunity. Center for Health Care Financing consultants cumulative experience and knowledge in Medicare claiming enables the effective analysis of state policies and programs for potential reimbursement opportunities. As part of the University of Massachusetts Medical School’s Commonwealth Medicine division, our programs are designed to help states and localities take advantage of these valuable opportunities to increase reimbursement revenues and improve state health care services.
Drug coverage, immunization, and home health services are a sampling of services that provide opportuntistic federal reimbursement activity not always claimed. For these and other health services, it is a state’s Medicaid budget that covers the expense. Center consultants analyze public health-related programs, such as hospital payment claims, to properly identify clients and services eligible for these beneficial federal reimbursement opportunities.
