We have numerous practicing physicians on our staff assisted by experienced RNs who understand the complex issues that impact what hospitals are paid.

Level Of Care

Our clinical team reviews Medicare and Medicaid admissions and evaluates whether the patients are more appropriately classified as inpatients or as observation patients as defined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Since the level of care has an impact on what hospitals are paid it is important to verify that the medical record has adequate documentation to support the level of care that is submitted for payment. This process can improve your hospital's bottom line and at the same time support a strong compliance program. For more information about Level Of Care, please contact us.
