can anyone tell me what costs comprise the reimbursement rate for chronic renal dialysis patients by Medicare?
http://www.cms.hhs.gov/PCPricer/01a_ESRDCalculator.asp You can download the tool here. ESRD Calculator The ESRD Calculator is a spreadsheet that allows users to enter information to predict reimbursement based on various patient characteristics. Therefore, it may be especially useful for providers (such as those who are considering to give up their exception rate) who are interested in forecasting payment for the services they provide. In addition, it may be helpful to providers who wish to calculate the payment they will receive for a particular claim (in order to accurately post accounts receivable), or even to simply validate that they have received correct payment for a claim upon receipt of their Medicare remittance advice.
