Scam targeting U.S. Bank customers
DHS is aware of an organized impersonation scam that targets U.S. Bank customers. Impersonators are contacting customers by phone, posing as representatives from the U.S. Bank Fraud Department. They may claim issues with recently initiated wire transfers. The DHS DQA Provider Portal uses U.S. Bank for the payment of fees. Please be aware of this impersonation scam if you are paying fees through the DHS DQA Provider Portal.
In Wisconsin, hospitals, trauma care systems, and critical access hospitals must be licensed.
Type
Description
A hospital license is for a place that provides 24-hour, inpatient nursing or medical care. The care helps diagnose and treat short-term illnesses and injuries.
Hospitals can also apply for a critical access hospital license and/or a swing-bed certification. A critical access hospital provides important care in a rural area. A swing bed hospital has beds devoted to nursing home care.
Fees
$18 per bed per year and if there’s a change in owner.
