This book is a complete examination of the application of the continuum of care which defines the roles of the entire case management team as well as providing an overview of key post acute venues of care in order to achieve an effective and efficient team. It supplies an overview of the process, its structure, and the responsibility of each member of the team. The authors demonstrate that the case management team includes more than just those with the title of case manager. Highlighted is administration's role to assure patients are at the right place at the right time in their care. A key byproduct of an effective case management system is explored -- the realization of an effective integrated health system whereby physicians and hospitals are aligned as caretaker of future health resources. A number of important changes that have occurred in the past 13 years (since The Case Management Sourcebook was published in 1997) are reflected in the workbook as well as the new landscape of healthcare reform.

"Provider-based status" indicating the relationship between a main health care provider, usually a hospital or critical access hospital, and the facilities and organizations that it owns that are located outside of the main hospital (either on-campus or off), is of crucial importance to modern hospital systems. The ability to treat a facility or organization as provider-based directly impacts the hospital's ability to take advantage of economies of scale, to spread its capital costs over its full facility base, and its level of federal program reimbursement.
Treating (billing) a facility or organization as provider-based used to be largely a matter of saying so. The hospital would include the facility or organization in its Medicare cost report and bill for its services as if it were part of the hospital, with little, if any, oversight from CMS. However, since the establishment of the Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) in April 2000, CMS has imposed strict requirements on facilities and organizations claiming provider-based status. These requirements apply to every aspect of the facility or organization claimed as provider-based: financial, administrative, and clinical. Failure to comply with any of the established criteria can expose the hospital to liability for overpayments for all cost reporting periods that CMS regards as having been improperly billed. The purpose of this book is to provide you with an easy-to-follow means of assuring that your facility or organization has met all of CMS' stated criteria so that its continuing ability to claim provider-based status is not jeopardized.
