Please join us for RubinBrown’s Rural Health Webinar Series: Cost Report Filing Mistakes That Could Cost You – and How to Avoid Them, led by Caren Puvalowski, Rural Healthcare Reimbursement Manager at RubinBrown.This session will provide valuable insights into Medicare and other cost reports, highlighting key considerations and strategies to optimize reimbursement. Beyond the current year’s reports, we will also explore prior-year cost reports, discussing common challenges, potential benefits, and the steps involved in identifying and securing additional revenue.

 As a rural hospital, you serve a pivotal role in both the well-being and economic stability of your community. Yet, you face ongoing challenges, including limited resources, financial constraints, and the transition to value-based care. Despite these hurdles, rural hospitals have unique opportunities to enhance revenue and strengthen financial sustainability.

This course will explore the regulations, advantages, and reimbursement opportunities specific to rural providers, equipping you with actionable strategies to maximize your facility’s financial potential. Recommended for finance and revenue cycle professionals from rural hospitals and health systems that own rural facilities.

Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to: 

•  Review Medicare and other cost reports to determine how they can be used to ensure optimal reimbursement for your facility.
•   Identify factors to consider when evaluating reopening a prior year cost report.
•  Utilize the special reimbursement rules and advantages available for rural providers and the strategies that can be used related to various payers.
