Financial Operations and Reimbursement

CAH Hospital Reimbursement & Cost Report Overview

Webinar

Medicare-certified Critical Access Hospitals are reimbursed from the Medicare program under a cost-based reimbursement system. This system is distinct and different from the Medicare program fee-for-service methodologies, such as the inpatient and outpatient prospective payment systems. These different reimbursement systems create financial and operational issues that are inherently unique to Critical Access Hospitals.

Please join Ovation Healthcare’s AVP of Healthcare Finance & Reimbursement, Patrick Nudo, for a high-level overview of the Medicare Cost-Based Reimbursement methodology. With this fundamental knowledge, you will understand and comprehend some of the unique reimbursement challenges Critical Access Hospitals face and how they impact the CAH’s financial performance.
