Case Study: Leading Medicare and Medicaid Company expedites nursing home enrollment with Marcum LLP

Expediting Medicare/Medicaid Enrollment during Change of Ownership at Nursing Homes

Leading Medicare and Medicaid Company, a healthcare organization that owns and operates 20 nursing homes in the Midwest and leases about 150 properties nationwide, faced a stalled Medicare and Medicaid enrollment process during several facility change-of-ownership transactions. Marcum LLP was brought in to help coordinate and facilitate the enrollment process after an improper IRS tax classification delayed the filings for months.

Marcum LLP reviewed the tax classifications, identified the IRS issue affecting the incoming owners, and worked with the IRS to correct it so the Medicaid application process could move forward. Marcum LLP then completed the required state and federal registrations for the transaction entities, helping the customer finalize the paperwork, begin processing claims, and resume reimbursement with minimal cash-flow disruption.
