Prior OIG reviews identified almost $242 million in overpayments to hospitals that did not comply with Medicare's post-acute-care transfer policy (transfer policy). These hospitals transferred patients to certain post-acute-care settings, such as skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), but claimed the higher reimbursements associated with discharges to home. Because compliance with the transfer policy has been an issue over a long period, we conducted this followup review to evaluate whether Medicare properly paid acute-care hospitals' claims subject to that policy for those claims with dates of service from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2018 (audit period).
