  2. Does Your Agency Set a Limit on Visits?

    KateRN1 replied to RachRN66's topic in Home Health

    Medicare Managed care does not pay in the same way as fee-for-service Medicare, so it's a completely different ballgame. Generally, the agency must obtain authorization from the managed care agency...

  5. Different spin on previous post on documentation tampering

    KateRN1 replied to Capco56's topic in Home Health

    KateRN1 replied to Forever Sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    KateRN1 replied to mmkrn's topic in Home Health
