Revenue Cycle Insights

There are mistakes that often occur during retrospective Transfer DRG reviews that can result in compliance concerns for hospitals. This paper explores five common pitfalls associated with these reviews and how to avoid them.

An effective Transfer DRG second sweep will confirm that a hospital has received all of the revenue it has earned, ensure that its primary process is compliant and potentially identify cost savings through vendor consolidation. This special report explains why secondary reviews are still necessary.

Transfer DRG underpayments deprive US hospitals of hundreds of millions of dollars per year. Fortunately, there are solutions that allow hospitals to recover the revenue they’ve properly earned when they’ve been underpaid due to the Transfer Rule.

Even hospitals with established best practices around the shadow billing process may find that system conversions, updates, staffing changes and registration issues lead to missed shadow billing opportunities. Learn how underpayments can occur.
