Guest guest Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Most of our commercial contracts carve NMDP charges out from our case rates. We bill charges as they accrue. If a search switches to a new center, then we’re only paid for the charges accrued at our center. In the rare case where a contract does include search charges as part of the case rate, there is always a clause about how charges are paid if a case is closed without transplant. Typically, facility and MD charges will revert to General Service contract rates and NMDP charges revert to a pass-through rate based on the invoice. For Medicare patients, there’s no direct reimbursement of any NMDP charges whether we transplant the patient or not. Those charges go on our Medicare Cost Report.
