  • Title: Act now to maximize Medicare payments for capital.
    Author: Maier RA, Benton TH, Hamilton MS.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 1989 Nov; 43(11):28, 32-6. PubMed ID: 10303989.
    Abstract:
    Anticipating a change in the way Medicare pays for capital costs, healthcare organizations should evaluate their capital expenditure plans. To maximize payments under the current system, they should create an equipment acquisition plan that brings the greatest capital costs during the equipment's early life. They then should determine a cost allocation method that assigns the greatest allowable capital costs to Medicare.
