Critical
Access Hospital Services
Hospitals and Healthcare Systems
Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) face unique challenges with Medicare, Medicaid and other regulatory and operational issues. In addition to the traditional audit, tax and consulting services Dixon Hughes Goodman provides for healthcare facilities, we also provide an array of services for Critical Access Hospitals.
Dixon Hughes Goodman provides a holistic approach to identifying needs, providing guidance and assisting with implementation to help CAHs meet their short and long-term goals.
In order to successfully manage a CAH, management should always consider the financial impact when proposing operational and regulatory changes. Proposed changes often create variations in expense, revenue, utilization and payor mix which can result in significant changes to cost reimbursement. Dixon Hughes Goodman can assist in modeling proposed operational changes by utilizing yearend or interim cost reporting techniques to estimate the financial impact.
We assist Critical Access Hospital clients with recognizing available opportunities and consult in areas such as cost report preparation, reimbursement assessment services, Medicare bad debts, operational assessments, strategic planning, audits and appeals.
