IMA Consulting offers the best
possible MBD services available to hospitals. Our MBD services combine our
knowledge and skill (IMA Consulting’s MBD team has provided MBD services to over
40 hospitals and for over 300 cost report years) with state-of-the-art tools
that result in MBD listings which are complete, accurate and will stand up under
the scrutiny of a Fiscal Intermediary (FI) audit.
Our MBD methodology compares the full universe of a hospital’s Medicare
deductible and coinsurance (D&C) amounts (which are obtained through the
electronic detailed Medicare P,S&Rs) to a hospital’s patient accounting system
data to determine if additional unpaid Medicare D&C amounts can be appropriately
claimed as MBD.

- Identify current and prior year accounts eligible for Medicare Bad Debt
reimbursement
- Fiscal Intermediary audit support of submitted listings
- Strategies for calling back accounts from collection agencies
- Process and policy changes for billing and collections to support Medicare
