What are clients and industry leaders saying about VersaBadge?
“Nearly all CAHs have opportunities to improve cost-based reimbursement through better cost report accuracy. One of the greatest opportunities we have seen in the hundreds of cost reports that we have reviewed, is the opportunity to improve Emergency Department Standby reimbursement through more accurate tracking of time.
As the cost of providing Emergency Department physician services continues to escalate, the risk of inaccurate time recording could literally close a rural hospital. Getting this wrong is no longer an option. VersaBadge provides a technology based platform that significantly increases accuracy of time tracking and ultimately reimbursement.”

"At Mission Health we had struggled for years to accurately and completely describe ED physician downtime, recognizing the importance of both compliance and potential reimbursement via ED Part-A time for CMS. When we engaged with VersaBadge in 2015 to develop a more accurate, automated time study solution, we knew that many critical access hospitals were not 'getting it right' with traditional observation methods.
Today, VersaBadge ensures that all Mission critical access hospitals accurately and completely measure that downtime. The impact of Versabadge not only at Mission but across the country has far exceeded my expectations."

“I would like to tell everyone about my experience with VersaBadge and the way it has affected our Critical Access Hospital (CAH) here in rural Tennessee. I had an opportunity to utilize VersaBadge at West Tennessee Health Care Camden Hospital for the past year and captured twice the amount of allowable downtime for providers in the Emergency Room.
The most impressive part of VersaBadge (VB) is the amazing team who works with you along the way. The implementation was seamless, timely, and very informative in all areas of the process. All data received by VB will be explained in detail of how this data was collected and what it means for your cost report.
Big savings and technology that allows for accurate compliance during audits are just a couple of the benefits we have noticed. If you are designated as a CAH and have not given VersaBadge a look, please take the time to hear about this product. It will definitely be worth your time.”

The cost saving solution was incredibly easy to implement with minimal impact to staff workflow already set in place, this solution actually removed work not created work so the frontline staff was appreciative.
