Using a “big picture” approach, this session will explore the evolution of Medicare coverage for organ transplantation and organ acquisition costs, the roles of key regulatory and oversight agencies, and how transplant operations ultimately translate into Medicare Cost Reporting. This webinar will also highlight common reporting issues, frequent misconceptions, and practical challenges organizations encounter in preparing accurate and compliant Organ Acquisition Cost Reports.

  • Participants will be able to describe the development of Medicare coverage for organ transplantation
  • Participants will be able to explain how transplant program operations translate into Organ Acquisition Cost Report entries.
  • Participants will be able to recognize common errors and misconceptions encountered in preparing accurate and compliant Organ Acquisition Cost Reports
