RE: Donor Account Guarantors

All pre-testing is billed to the transplant department and it goes on the Medicare Cost Report. We treat every patient as if they have Medicare pre-transplant. >>> ebender@... 5/24/2005 3:36:17 PM >>>

For those of you who work with patient accounts, please advise what you use for the guarantor on donor eval, inpatient and post follow up accounts. Most importantly why.If your practice varies by insurance, I would like to know that.Thanks,a BenderSt. Hospital

We use the Renal Transplant as the guarantor to be sure the patient/donor

doesn't get the bill in error with the exception of post transplant follow up.

The eval and hospital stay is taken care of by the KACC.

Donor Account Guarantors

For those of you who work with patient accounts, please advise what you

use for the guarantor on donor eval, inpatient and post follow up

If your practice varies by insurance, I would like to know that.
