On the Bubble: Discuss 340B Eligibility, DSH Reimbursement
Interested in issues related to your hospital or health system's DSH reimbursement? Is your hospital or one of its affiliates about to be qualified -- or disqualified -- from the 340B program? Want to do a better job recovering DSH revenue?
If so, feel free to contact SNHPA Counsel Barbara Straub Williams of Powers, Pyles, Sutter & Verville, a specialist in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement issues. Barbara leads a group originally dubbed "On the Bubble" because it targeted hospitals that are close to the 11.75-percent DSH payment percentage threshold for 340B participation.
While the group still focuses on issues related to 340B eligibility, it has expanded to include hospitals that are simply interested in recovering all DSH dollars they're entitled to, and hospitals keen on learning from their peers.
In one recent teleconference, for example, participants listened with interest as one provider described how it converted a portion of its psychiatric-unit beds into acute-care beds and how that change allowed the hospital to qualify for the 340B program.
Please contact Barbara at barbara.williams@ppsv.com or (202) 872-6733 if you'd like to discuss DSH reimbursement or have questions about the next teleconference.
