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. IMA’s MBD services provide the following benefits to a hospital:
- 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 Bad
Debt regulations
