Medicare cost report services involve preparing and submitting cost reports to Medicare to determine the reimbursement a healthcare provider receives. Accurate reporting is essential to ensure compliance and maximize reimbursement opportunities.
Comprehensive Cost Report Preparation
Cost reports play a critical role in determining facility reimbursement, especially wage-related components. They also serve as key data sources for regulators monitoring reimbursement programs.
Goldwiseman provides end-to-end assistance in preparing, reviewing, and filing Medicare and Medicaid cost reports—helping healthcare organizations minimize audit risks and maximize reimbursement potential. Our team ensures every report is accurate, compliant, and optimized for your facility’s financial success.

We maintain strong working relationships with Medicare Administrative Contractors and State Medicaid departments to streamline the submission and review process.
Medicare Bad Debt Reimbursement
Compiling a complete and compliant Medicare bad debt listing is a time-intensive process. Goldwiseman helps providers identify allowable bad debts, eliminate non-reimbursable portions, and prepare accurate listings through advanced data analysis techniques.
This process not only increases the accuracy of cost reports but also reduces exposure during future Medicare audits.
End-Stage Renal Dialysis (ESRD) Bonus Payments
