Accretive PAS®
A comprehensive physician advisory medical necessity solution that helps hospitals and medical facilities confirm their navigation of the regulatory environment so that compliance improves.

Hospitals and physician groups operate in an environment inundated with rules and regulations and multiple federal, state, and commercial entities auditing compliance. These factors drive the need for precise and timely case classification and a demand for formalized processes related to admissions and billing.

The decision to classify a patient as inpatient versus observation is based on complex medical judgment, made all the more complicated in light of The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' release of the FY 2014 Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) Final Rule. AccretivePAS® focuses on concurrent recommendations to increase compliance and success on retrospective appeals and maximizes total utilization review (UR) compliance through a full suite of IPPS “two midnight” standards and services performed only by licensed physicians:
