Medicare Compliance Review of Missouri Baptist Medical Center for 2011 and 2012
Missouri Baptist Medical Center (the Hospital) (operating in Saint Louis, Missouri) complied with Medicare billing requirements for 207 of the 253 inpatient and outpatient claims we reviewed. However, the Hospital did not fully comply with Medicare billing requirements for the remaining 46 claims, resulting in overpayments of $414,000 for calendar years (CYs) 2011 and 2012 (45 claims) and CY 2010 (1 claim). Specifically, 40 inpatient claims had billing errors, resulting in overpayments of $328,000, and 6 outpatient claims had billing errors, resulting in overpayments of $85,000. These errors occurred primarily because the Hospital did not have adequate controls to prevent the incorrect billing of Medicare claims within the selected risk areas that contained errors.
