Volume Decrease Adjustment

HPS works with Sole Community Providers (“SCP”) and Medicare Dependant Hospitals (“MDH”) that experience a decline of more than five percent in total discharges, due to circumstances beyond their control, to qualify for a pass-through Volume Decrease Adjustment from Medicare. HPS works with hospital staff to confirm that the decrease in volume resulted from a qualifying event that had a direct impact on admissions and a substantial cost effect. HPS’s review ensures that adjustment amounts include the reasonable cost of maintaining necessary core staff and services along with a number of other requirements for a Volume Decrease Adjustment.

HPS has experienced reimbursement and cost accounting professionals with significant hospital administration and finance backgrounds that can assist providers to determine if they qualify for a Volume Decrease Adjustment. HPS’s staff work offsite to prepare all the documentation necessary to collect reimbursement for a Volume Decrease Adjustment.

Reviews are performed offsite with minimal information required from the client.
