Denver Health Expands Relationship with BESLER Consulting
Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) March 03, 2014 -- BESLER Consulting, a leading provider of comprehensive revenue integrity services to healthcare organizations, is pleased to announce that Denver Health of Denver, CO has selected the company to assist in the identification of Medicare Transfer DRG underpayments.
Under Medicare reimbursement regulations, when certain patients are discharged to post acute care, the discharging hospital is paid at a reduced rate. In some cases, this reduced payment is not justified by the actual post-discharge care. These underpayments are not reflective of coding or billing errors on the part of the provider, but more commonly result from a change in the planned course of treatment subsequent to discharge.
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. BESLER also offers the BVerified℠ suite of web-based solutions, which allows providers to bring the work of identifying, prioritizing and recovering Medicare underpayments in-house.
After undergoing a rigorous review, BESLER’s Transfer DRG Revenue Recovery Service was recently awarded the “Peer Reviewed by HFMA®” designation by the Healthcare Financial Management Association *.
“Denver Health was already utilizing our BVerified sanctions screening solution with great success,” said Jonathan Besler, BESLER’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We’re very pleased that we’ll now be implementing our Transfer DRG underpayment recovery solution as well. We’re looking forward to working with Denver Health on this issue.”
