Lung Transplant program

[Guest guest]

Hello everybody,

I was wondering if you can give me some input in regards to lung transplants. We are getting ready to start our lung transplant program and I was wondering if the accounting side looks similar to the liver tp procedure.

Right now we are logging all liver tp evaluation hospital charges on the Medicare Cost report. The physician fees for the liver tp eval are billed to the patient’s insurance company.

Is lung handled the same?

Thanks in advance for your input,
