Fundamentals of Revenue Calculations Webinar
2019-09-20 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York)
September 20, 2019 | 2:00 PM Eastern
Speakers: Asbel Montes, Angie McLain, & Rebecca Williamson
$99 for Members | $198 for Non-Members (price included with Gold and Silver ACE Subscription packages)
This webinar will provide the attendee with three core fundamentals surrounding revenue calculations:
1. Ambulance transportation revenue and the complexity around payers and categories
2. Non-ambulance transportation revenue and how to categorize it appropriately
3. Ambulance revenue and how it relates to CMS cost data collection and reporting.
As safety net providers, cost data collection will allow the ambulance industry to begin reporting revenues and other elements that will assist in bad debt recovery that other healthcare entities currently have the ability to recover from federal and state programs. This seminar will explore how to begin setting up your systems to report these revenues and other elements correctly to ensure accuracy of the data reported for future payment reform. Register►

2018 federal legislation expanded Medicare cost data collection to ambulance services, although with some important differences from other Medicare reporters. Failure to meet these new reporting requirements could lead to significant sanctions including loss of Medicare revenue. Annual Pre-Conference attendees will gain actionable tools, and participate/partake in gamification exercises to deepen their understanding of cost collection. Led by ACE faculty Asbel Montes, Rebecca Williamson, Angie McLain, Scott Moore, and Brian Werfel, attendees will learn how we got to where we are today, what the new mandates will require based on current regulations, and how to best prepare yourself and your service for the phase-in. At the conclusion of the workshop, attendees will be armed with a summary and checklist of how to cross walk their current budget and chart of accounts to the cost survey model, along with a labor toolkit reviewing the 855 form and other tools. This workshop is an essential building block to your Ambulance Cost Education. With the changes coming soon, your service can’t afford to fall behind!
