Dialysis Billing Transformation

In the last ten years, dialysis billing, revenue and quality metrics have changed greatly. Beginning in 2011, dialysis payments from Medicare became a bundled payment. This change was to decrease the total cost of therapy. Additionally, in 2012 quality metrics became attached to the standard bundled rate for payment. Suddenly, dialysis billing became even more of a specialty.
What is included in the bundle rate? What is excluded from the bundle rate and how can facilities capture these charges with little interruptions to patient care? These are all questions that are central to thriving in this complex reimbursement/regulatory environment. To better succeed in today’s environment, independent dialysis facility owners are relying more on technology to fill in the gaps. By automating many of these billing requirements to ensure nothing is missed, such as capturing a co-morbid condition, a facility can ensure they bill for everything they are entitled to be reimbursed for.
