Medicare Geographic Classifications

The BESLER team can help your hospital determine if applying to the Medicare Geographic Classification Review Board (MGCRB) for reclassification may be beneficial.

We’ll help you take advantage of your hospital’s physical location versus your neighboring location so you can secure the best Wage Index Adjustment factor for DRGs.

Our healthcare reimbursement services can validate data and assist in modeling needed for your facility and other facilities in your Core-Based Statistical Area (CBSA).
