Strategies for Success for Medicare DSH post-ACA

Description: This presentation will focus on the importance of providers actively managing the Medicaid and Medicare membership in their patient populations. With the advent of Healthcare Reform, the importance of the Medicaid population for all providers continues to increase geometrically as the proper reporting and management of this population has material tangential effects in the areas of Electronic Health Record reimbursement, Federal/State disproportionate share (DSH) payments, 340B programs and Uncompensated Care reporting.

By utilizing patient population intelligence, providers can benefit from increased governmental reimbursements and assist their patients in qualifying and maintaining enrollment in the State and Federal healthcare/financial programs they are entitled.
Attendees of the presentation will learn strategies to:
I. Pro-actively manage the eligibility of Medicaid and near-Medicaid members to optimize reporting of this key metric in the Post-ACA Federal DSH environment to include:
o S-CHIP (TXXI) to Medicaid conversion
o Retroactive changes in eligibility
o Medicaid churn management
II. Gain visibility into utilization and membership trends for they key demographic cohort.
III. Integrate Medicare eligibility and enrollment status with Medicaid for dual-eligible member management.
IV. Manage the reporting and updating of key Uncompensated Care metrics into the CMS Medicare Cost Reporting database for prospective UCP payments.
