WHA Launches 2023 Wage Index Improvement Project with New Partner, FORVIS
WHA is pleased to announce FORVIS as its new partner for education and assistance with all things wage
index. The wage index improvement program is not new to WHA, as we have provided outside resources to help member hospitals with wage index reporting for about two decades as a member benefit. The wage index has a big impact on reimbursement, so providing resources to help make sure hospital reporting is accurate and complete helps benefit Prospective Payment System hospitals throughout the state. This year, WHA has contracted with FORVIS for FFY 2025 wage index assistance.
WHA believes a fresh look at the wage index program will help maximize the value to members. In the coming weeks, FORVIS will share a timeline for this year’s project, a kickoff webinar and other information. They are working on behalf of WHA to help you through the wage index process and to help make sure your data is complete and accurate.
WHA has sent an email to all impacted CFOs and to every hospital wage index contact we have from the previous year’s project. Having an engaged wage index contact for all WHA members impacted by the wage index is crucial for the success of the program.
Watch for more information regarding this year’s wage index improvement program including info about the June 30 kickoff webinar coming from FORVIS.
If you have questions, contact WHA Senior Vice President of Finance and COO Brian Potter. We thank you for helping make the WHA wage index improvement program an annual success.
