Part 1 of the text addresses the CPT coding process, the relative valuation system (RVU), the ICD-9 and ICD-10 systems of classification, Medicare Part B payment rules for physicians, the DRG system and Medicare Part A payment for hospitals, alternative payment models, and the myriad of quality measures of importance to surgeons. Part 2 of the text addresses specific coding in areas where surgeons historically have had the most difficulty.

With no appointments available to see Dr. Be Well until late next day, Ms Runouta Patience decides it's off to QuickFix retail medical clinic to get feeling well again. After being treated with decongestants and an antibiotic, a week later she arrives at Dr. Be Well's office for a follow-up visit, where the receptionist hands her a clipboard with endless forms to complete before seeing the doctor. She is also asked if she wishes to join Dr. Be Well's new accountable care organization-an ACO. What? Wasn't she already his patient? Finally after almost getting writer's cramp, she is taken to a room, where in walks Dr. Guess Who, ANP-C, ACNS-BC, DNP. At first, Runouta Patience is disturbed that Dr. Be Well is unavailable. But Dr. Guess Who is kind, professional in her demeanor, extremely thorough, and even tests her understanding of the asthma recommendations that she makes. Leaving the office, Rinaouta Patience writes out a check for her office visit co-payment and upon arriving home downloads an app onto her smartphone that will allow her to send peak airflow rates to her doctor to help manage her asthma. Some weeks later, however, her condition again deteriorates and she must go to the local emergency room, where she receives a breathing treatment and is admitted to hospital. Expecting to see Dr. Be Well, she is again surprised as in comes young Dr. Hyam Here, the hospitalist on duty who will care for her for at least the next forty-eight hours while she is hospitalized. Through simulated patient scenarios such as these, the reader is introduced to many of the milestones that have occurred in healthcare delivery. Problems currently faced are discussed and potential solutions provided. Advance Praise for "Modern Healthcare Delivery..." "Dr. Zema has authored a most comprehensive tome on our U.

Book Synopsis How We Do Harm by : Otis Webb Brawley, MD
Download or read book How We Do Harm written by Otis Webb Brawley, MD and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How We Do Harm exposes the underbelly of healthcare today—the overtreatment of the rich, the under treatment of the poor, the financial conflicts of interest that determine the care that physicians' provide, insurance companies that don't demand the best (or even the least expensive) care, and pharmaceutical companies concerned with selling drugs, regardless of whether they improve health or do harm. Dr. Otis Brawley is the chief medical and scientific officer of The American Cancer Society, an oncologist with a dazzling clinical, research, and policy career. How We Do Harm pulls back the curtain on how medicine is really practiced in America. Brawley tells of doctors who select treatment based on payment they will receive, rather than on demonstrated scientific results; hospitals and pharmaceutical companies that seek out patients to treat even if they are not actually ill (but as long as their insurance will pay); a public primed to swallow the latest pill, no matter the cost; and rising healthcare costs for unnecessary—and often unproven—treatments that we all pay for. Brawley calls for rational healthcare, healthcare drawn from results-based, scientifically justifiable treatments, and not just the peddling of hot new drugs. Brawley's personal history – from a childhood in the gang-ridden streets of black Detroit, to the green hallways of Grady Memorial Hospital, the largest public hospital in the U.S., to the boardrooms of The American Cancer Society—results in a passionate view of medicine and the politics of illness in America - and a deep understanding of healthcare today. How We Do Harm is his well-reasoned manifesto for change.
Book Synopsis What Is Health Insurance (Good) For? by : Robert D. Lieberthal
Download or read book What Is Health Insurance (Good) For? written by Robert D. Lieberthal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This informative volume synthesizes the literatures on health economics, risk management, and health services into a concise guide to the financial and social basics of health insurance with an eye to its wide-scale upgrade. Its scope takes in concepts of health capital, strengths and limitations of insurance models, the effectiveness of coverage and services, and the roles of healthcare providers and government agencies in the equation. Coverage surveys the current state of group and public policies, most notably the effects of the Affordable Care Act on insurers and consumers and the current interest in universal coverage and single-payer plans. Throughout, the author provides systemic reasons to explain why today’s health insurance fails so many consumers, concluding with reality-based recommendations for making insurance more valuable to both today’s market and consumer well-being. Included among the topics: ·Defining health insurance and healthcare finance. ·Consuming and investing in health. ·The scope of health insurance and its constraints. ·Matching health insurance supply and demand. ·The role of government in health insurance. ·Ongoing challenges and the future of health insurance. Bringing a needed degree of objectivity to often highly subjective material, What Is Health Insurance (Good) For? is a call to reform to be read by health insurance researchers (including risk management insurance and health services research), professionals, practitioners, and policymakers.
