About us
After more than 25 years of providing services to hospitals that operate Organ Transplant Centers (OTCs), including one of the largest public healthcare systems in the nation, we became increasingly aware of the need to provide services specifically to OTCs. We found that due to the complexity of the Medicare/Medicaid regulations and time constraints to meet these regulations, many of our clients with OTCs were unable to adequately design and implement a system that reported the true cost of transplant acquisition services.
The Transplant Advisory Group (TAG) was created to address the exclusive needs of Organ Transplant Centers. With our extensive experience in Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement and established track record of providing millions of dollars in additional reimbursement to our clients, TAG is uniquely positioned to provide services unlike any other organization. We have extensive experience dealing with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Medicare administrative contactors, state Medicaid programs, Blue Cross Association and other health care/managed care entities.
