Organ Acquisition

Hospitals with Certified Transplant Centers are eligible to receive “pass through” reimbursement for the Medicare portion of acquisition costs.

The actual payment amount is determined via the annual Medicare Cost Report – entirely outside of the Prospective Payment System (PPS).

A thorough review to improve accuracy and compliance can help hospitals capture every dollar of potential reimbursement.

The review includes all aspects of organ acquisition including direct costs, indirect costs, organ counts, organ acquisition charges and days, and organ revenue offsets.
