Wisconsins PATH ALONG A Brand With A Cause

Wisconsin's PATH ALONG is a brand with a cause.  The cause is to help Wisconsin hospitals retain their location and continue to serve the surrounding population.  A larger percentage of the total population being served in a rural community hospital can use Medicare and Medicaid as a pay source.   A hospital budget dependent upon more Medicare and Medicaid admission revenue can be at risk of losing adequate reserve funds with the hospital readmission reduction program. 

The hospital readmission reduction program reduces reimbursement for the provider when a readmission occurs with a defined medical condition within a 30 day period.  The graph below demonstrates how the hospital readmission reduction program will progressively lessen reimbursement.
