Transplant Solutions

What Transplant Solutions does

Transplant Solutions, LLC is a privately held professional services firm founded in 2014 and headquartered in Glendale, Arizona, with additional offices in Phoenix, AZ and Largo, FL. The firm provides transplant-specific consulting, staffing, and Medicare Cost Report services to U.S. transplant hospitals, Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs), and tissue typing laboratories. Service offerings span Medicare Cost Report preparation and pre-filing review, clinical and financial operations reviews, regulatory survey readiness assessments, CMS Conditions of Participation (CoP) mitigating factors and Systems Improvement Agreement (SIA) fulfillment, new program development, new staff orientation and training, transplant-specific permanent and locum tenens staffing, and ongoing quarterly retainer advisory relationships.

The firm's lead technology product is a Web-Based Time Study Application, positioned as the first fully web-based transplant time study module, enabling transplant teams to capture time study data on mobile devices in real time and making it immediately available to hospital finance teams. The firm states that clients typically see approximately a 3% increase in reimbursement on the cost report for staff salaries and overhead after adopting the module, and that the software is sold as an annual subscription with custom adaptation to existing time study activities without requiring Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) approval. The Time Study Application is layered on top of the firm's core professional services revenue stream, with the remainder of revenue generated through project-based consulting engagements and quarterly retainer agreements.
