YOUR FAVORITE POSTS by TOPIC:
Medicare DSH - Do you remember this comprehensive summary from April 2016 on how the 2017 IPPS proposed rule would impact DSH hospitals? It included updates on Factors 1, 2, and 3, again foreshadowed the use of Worksheet S-10 to distribute the uncompensated care payment, and introduced utilizing the average of Factor 3 from three cost reporting periods instead of just one. It had our largest number of views and you had quite a bit of questions on the topic.
Worksheet S-10 - How about this post from May 2017, our summary on the Medicare DSH/Uncompensated Care payment portion of the proposed rule as it would affect DSH hospitals, Worksheet S-10 Uncompensated Care definition, instructions and audits. It was our 2nd highest in views and clicks. Thanks for sharing this one so much!
340B - Remember this recent one from August 2017 on OPAIS, OPA's new 340B Database? It described new features, access and eligibility for covered entities which were implemented this past October. We have other articles on OPAIS coming soon. If you haven't already, register for our blog so you don't miss out!
