Successful Healthcare Reimbursement
With the complexity of legal reimbursement issues being the most difficult obstacle to overcome in establishing the success of healthcare facilities, three executives from Murer Consultants, Inc., Joliet, IL, wrote the Post Acute Care Reimbursement Manual, published by McGraw-Hill and released November, 1997. The key to effective healthcare delivery is through the appropriate use of multi-venues of care along a continuum. Post acute care is comprised of both impatient and outpatient service delivery models.
Post Acute Care Reimbursement Manual, written by Cherilyn Murer, Michael Murer, and Lyndean Lenhoff Brick, is the healthcare executive’s hands-on reference to reimbursement and legislation for specific venues of care. The changing nature of the Balanced Budget Act turned everything upside down. Post Acute Care Reimbursement Manual focuses on this issue.
Post Acute Care Reimbursement Manual answers specific reimbursement issues, shows how to widen the walls of limitations that policy imposes, provides details of the successful financial operation of healthcare facilities, updates Medicare regulations for post acute care, details emerging venues of care including Medical Day Hospitalsâ„¢ and alternative healthcare, and demonstrates how Medicare Risk Contracting serves as a bridge to future reimbursement methodologies.
To keep the executive informed on the ever-changing regulations and interpretation of policies and procedures, quarterly updates are available free of charge for the first year. The first quarterly update is now available and it includes the 1997 Balanced Budget Act.
Post Acute Care Reimbursement Manual is the second book to published by McGraw Hill and Murer Consultant authors. Murer Consultant authors are releasing their third book this May.
The first book, The Case Management Sourcebook, released June 1997, is a comprehensive guide to understanding, developing, and implementing healthcare case management. Murer Consultants third book, Compliance: Audits and Plans for Healthcare will be a legal and practical guide in conducting compliance programs and plans.
