Micro Hospitals are the latest type of medical facilities gaining popularity in the U.S. healthcare industry. They serve as a bridge between free-standing emergency rooms and community hospitals. Since micro-hospitals do not offer all clinical services, their acuity level is slightly lower than that of a public hospital.
HealthUnits LLC is proudly serving micro-hospitals in various states across the USA. We provide comprehensive management services designed to achieve high reimbursements while minimizing the need for extensive resources. Our expertise helps micro-hospitals optimize their operations and financial performance, ensuring they can continue to deliver essential healthcare services efficiently.
Customized Billing and Coding for Micro Hospitals
First and foremost, HealthUnits LLC ensures that the micro-hospitals we work with comply with federal and state licensing regulatory requirements. Our skilled credentialing department is well-versed in the specific regulations of different states, including the requirement for a Certificate of Need (CON) in some states. However, California, Nevada, Arizona, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Indiana do not require a CON before establishing a micro-hospital.
Regarding billing, our team excels in coding for the typical illnesses, injuries, and sample tests performed in micro-hospitals. We ensure accurate and efficient billing practices to maximize reimbursements and maintain compliance with all relevant regulations.Â
HealthUnits’s Accomplishments
Our team has developed strategies to reduce denials and significantly improve cash flow for micro-hospitals. We stay informed about state reforms and regulatory updates, negotiating aggressively with insurance companies on your behalf to ensure continuous growth and faster revenue returns.
We strive to build strong relationships that enable us to provide favorable rates for our clients and their patients. We avoid negotiating with out-of-network companies to prevent issues like a high volume of denials and low reimbursements. Additionally, we advise micro-hospitals to be located no more than 20 miles from a full-service hospital to facilitate easy patient transfers.
