    Nursing Home Medicare Spend Per Beneficiary (MSPB) & Cost-to-Charge Ratios

     
     

    The implementation of the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (HVBP) Program now means a hospital's Medicare reimbursement is partially tied to the entire Medicare Spend Per Beneficiary (MSPB) episode.  A 'MSPB episode' is defined by the three days prior to hospital admission through 30 days after hospital discharge.  

    With a new Medicare Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) patient requiring a '3-Day Inpatient Hospital Stay' prior to becoming eligible for Medicare SNF benefits, it is critical for nursing home leaders to understand the Average Inpatient Routine Service Cost Per Day & Service-Cost-to-Charge-Ratios since the nursing home's performance is either improving or hurting the hospital's bottom-line. 


    Hospital to Nursing Home Referral Patterns

    Find out which nursing homes in your area receive the most Medicare beneficiaries referrals, and how many, from your local hospitals.

     
     
    • Total number of unique SNF Medicare beneficiaries with a claim-based shared patient pattern with the hospital within 30 day.  
    • You choose the hospitals you want included in your report, and we provide you with the actionable information to understand how you compare with other local nursing homes.  
    • Whether you out-perform the competition in Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary (MSPB) or CMS Quality Measure Performance, start helping your referral sources know why their patients are going to receive the best care at your facility versus others.
