Kodiak Solutions Completes Acquisition of BESLER & Company
Kodiak Solutions has completed its acquisition of BESLER & Company, a leading provider of hospital reimbursement solutions. By integrating BESLER’s technology into its analytics engine, Kodiak aims to streamline revenue cycle management for hospitals and health systems. The acquisition was announced on January 28, 2026.
“Adding BESLER’s people and products to the Kodiak platform supports our mission of simplifying complex business problems for our clients,” said Derek Bang, CEO of Kodiak Solutions. Business Wire reported on the announcement.
The “Transfer DRG” Value Proposition
Kodiak Solutions is recognized for its financial reporting and risk compliance solutions. BESLER brings specialized expertise in Transfer Diagnosis related Group (DRG) analysis. Transfer DRGs are a complex component of Medicare reimbursement, and hospitals can experience financial losses due to incorrect coding when patients are transferred between care settings (e.g., from a hospital to a skilled nursing facility). Accurate identification of these underpayments requires detailed analysis.
Integrating BESLER’s automated transfer DRG validation into the Kodiak platform provides a “closed-loop” system. Kodiak analyzes overall financial performance, while the BESLER engine identifies specific, recoverable revenue opportunities. This integration aims to maximize revenue capture and improve financial accuracy for hospitals. Becker’s hospital Review details the benefits of this combined approach.

Kodiak currently serves over 2,300 facilities.By combining Kodiak and BESLER, health system CFOs can leverage a single platform to gain actionable insights from their data. The integration streamlines workflows by eliminating the need to export data to third-party auditors for underpayment checks. This capability will be natively
