Is Your Cardiac Program Losing You Money?

Welcome to the ConsultCare Partners Website. We invite you to learn about our approach to helping facilities assess their cardiac coding systems, both inpatient and outpatient.

The Impact of Cardiac

The cardiac population is the highest volume and most resource intensive hospital patient population accounting for 25% of most hospital’s net revenues. We know that most hospitals inadvertently lose hundreds of thousands – in some cases millions – of dollars in reimbursement - because of poor documentation and missed coding.

Consider This

• The rules for cardiac coding are so complex your coders might not be keeping up with the changes.
• New MS DRGs and code changes for 2008 usher in the biggest changes to documentation in over 20 years. These are critical to future payments and hospital profitability.
• Making logical audits, common sense protocols for coding and predicting the impact of rule changes will place your facility in a place of strength and sustainability. And if money is being left on the table, you can take action to recover any profit drain.

 

If you're not certain if you have hidden reimbursement issues related to documentation and coding, and ask about your profile. We probably know as much about you as you do. We use national data sets to compare you to your peers and highlight the differences. Whether it's case mix or severity of illness, we know how you compare.
