Emergency Department MD Standby Time Determination from Healthworcs

 Emergency Departments have ED MD idle time that can range up to 40+ percent. 

• The compensation costs can be reimbursed through your cost report to Medicare. 

• Our method typically improves reimbursement for physician expenses by over 20%. If you use a "time study" method you are only looking at 15-23 % of the ED visits.  You know how aggravating, exhausting, and inaccurate "time studies" can be.

• Healthworcs has a 100% auditable solution. We use your registration log data and give you a report of all of the actual standby times and the resulting time overall.  Our method uses patient registration log data for the entire year. 

• Estimates for reimbursement range from $40,000 to over $100,000 per year.  

• We charge $1000 to run the calculation for an ED with one MD. Additional services are available including an analysis of arrival distributions, LOS by patient type, and determining the amount of time each MD is working in ED. 

• For $1,000 you can compare, get a complete auditable listing, and a great chance for more cost recovery.  

• One hospital was leaving $40,000 unreported.
