Researchers and Consultants

Using national databases containing Medicare cost reports, Medicare inpatient claims, and Medicare Outpatient Prospective Payment Systems (PPS) claims, DataGen’s experts conduct in-depth analyses of Medicare PPS reimbursement, methods and policies; analyze margins data; and compare financial and utilization indicators using a variety of peer groups.

Recognizing that DataGen is a premier resource for timely information on changes in federal health policy, many researchers and consultants rely on DataGen to perform analyses and provide impact information. Some of the types of analyses that have been conducted with DataGen databases and analytical support include:

• Medicare reimbursement analyses in support of alternative Medicare reimbursement,
• Hospital cost and trend analyses, and
• Analysis of outpatient charges and coding performance.
