Medicare Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) Appeals

Appealing Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) reimbursement is a complicated process, with narrowly-defined appeal timelines. Appeals are subject to strict requirements by Medicare agencies and the Provider Reimbursement Review Board (PRRB), and failing to understand these can cause hospitals great financial risk and exposure.

When protesting issues on a cost report, it’s crucial to collect detailed documentation and file timely appeals so you can protect your hospital’s rights to pending reimbursement revenue.

Our professionals help both hospitals and legal counsel effectively pursue appeals by documenting days-at-issue, as well as developing and supporting arguments to pursue via the PRRB and US court system.
