Where Acute Care Revenue Actually Breaks

CC/MCC Capture Changes DRG Reimbursement
CC/MCC Capture Changes DRG Reimbursement

Missing complications and comorbidities lower DRG severity, reduce reimbursement, and negatively impact Case Mix Index (CMI). Our CDI specialists and coders work together to maximize the appropriate capture of CC/MCC codes.

Transfer DRG Logic Creates Hidden Revenue Leakage
Transfer DRG Logic Creates Hidden Revenue Leakage

Incorrect discharge disposition coding affects reimbursement for patients transferred to skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation facilities, LTCHs, and other care settings. Accurate transfer DRG logic protects payment integrity.

Documentation Must Be Complete Before Discharge
Documentation Must Be Complete Before Discharge

Clinical Documentation Improvement is time-sensitive. Physician queries that remain unresolved before discharge often result in lower-severity DRGs, missed reimbursement opportunities, and audit exposure.

Why Acute Care Hospitals Choose Plutus Health

Acute Care-Credentialed Coders

Our inpatient coders specialize in ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, MS-DRG, APR-DRG, SOI/ROM, and payer-specific hospital reimbursement methodologies.

CDI Integrated With Coding

Rather than treating CDI and coding separately, our specialists collaborate throughout the encounter to improve documentation quality before billing begins.

Outcome-Based Commercial Model

Our incentives align with yours. We focus on collections, reimbursement improvement, coding accuracy, and denial reduction rather than transaction volume.

Operational Insights We Bring

Specialty Hospital Knowledge Matters
Specialty Hospital Knowledge Matters

Generalist RCM vendors cannot consistently manage DRG assignment, CDI workflows, inpatient coding, and payer-specific hospital reimbursement requirements.

Coding Quality Improves Financial Performance
Coding Quality Improves Financial Performance

Small improvements in DRG accuracy, documentation quality, and coding precision create measurable improvements in Case Mix Index, reimbursement, and net collections.

Prevention Costs Less Than Rework
Prevention Costs Less Than Rework

Claims reviewed before submission experience fewer denials, less manual rework, faster payment cycles, and higher first-pass acceptance rates.
