Kirby Hospital is known as a Critical Access Hospital (CAH). What is a CAH?

0

Kirby Hospital is an independent not-for-profit hospital and not part of any other healthcare organization. We are also a CAH which means the Federal Government recognizes Kirby as a rural, acute care hospital that has met federal program certification requirements for daily in-patient census count (25 or fewer), average length of stay and provides standard services. In return, a CAH receives cost based reimbursement (CBR) from Medicare for hospital services. Medicare pays 101% of reasonable costs for services provided to Medicare patients. Reasonable service costs can include salaries, supplies, equipment, and building costs. The current Kirby payer mix is >60% Medicare.
