Medicare Cost Reports Net JCHC Nearly $2 Million

The Medicare Cost Reports that have been performed over the last couple of years for the Johnson County Healthcare Center have been a boon to the facility, netting nearly $2 million in under-payments that have come back to them.

Mark Lyons, with Casey Peterson CPAs, which compiled the reports, spoke to the hospital board of trustees at their recent meeting to explain what has happened over the time they have performed the reviews and how that was a benefit to the facility.

Lyons told the board not to expect returns on Medicare cost report reconciliations in the future like they have recently seen.

He explained the goal of the process moving forward.

The total amount recovered by the firm was $1.7 million over the two-year period, according to Lyons.
