Solid Organ Transplant
The Solid Organ Transplant review is comprised of a Finance component
and an Operational component. The Finance portion of the review
identifies whether the Organ Acquisition Cost Centers reflect the
true cost of services provided and whether the hospital is receiving
all of the Medicare dollars to which it is entitled. The Operational
portion of the review is an analysis of systems to ensure the Program
is compliant with federal transplant-related regulations and that
there are processes in place that provide for appropriately capturing
all transplant related cost.
Profitability Analysis
The transplant profitability analysis, through a complete cost analysis,
determines the strengths and weaknesses in the program that affect
profitability and provides strategies for improvement. This analysis
is especially valuable when considering expansion of a program.
Transplant Retainer
The Transplant Retainer service provides affordable ongoing support
for the client’s transplant program operations, reimbursement
and compliance questions. The retainer service provides the answers
to client hospitals when they need it on an ongoing basis.
Histocompatibility Laboratories (Hospital & Free Standing)
The review of the Histocompatibility Laboratory includes examining
the overall structure and operation of the histocompatibility laboratory
for operating efficiency, profitability, and certification. The
review may include computing the unit cost of histocompatibility
test production and establishing the test charge structure, if required.
In addition, HSC can determine appropriate staffing requirements
and personnel utilization. We also assist in obtaining required
transplant regulatory approvals (for transplant centers and organ
procurement programs also.)
Organ Procurement Organizations
The Organ Procurement Organization analysis includes the review
of the structure of an organ procurement organization to maximize
reimbursement benefits in the areas of renal, extra-renal organs,
and tissue. The service includes assistance to the freestanding
organ procurement organization in preparing its annual Medicare
Cost Report.
