Legal Aspects of Health Care ReimbursementLegal Aspects of Health Care Reimbursement, written in 1985, presents a historical perspective of reimbursement legislation and regulations with regard to several important aspects of Medicare and Medicaid claims, which have a great potential for fraud and abuse. Focus is on penalties and offenses. Part I deals with Medicare. Several well-documented chapters are dedicated to long-term care, inpatient hospital reimbursement, hospice care, and end-stage renal disease. Part II, deals with Medicaid. In addition to inpatient hospital reimbursement and long-term care, there is an informative expose of abortion and family planning services, to include U.S. Supreme Court cases, legislative restrictions, regulations, and litigation. Each chapter concludes with an "Outlook" section that suggests ways of containing inequities, limiting costs or improving flawed procedures. This impeccably researched study is valuable reading not only for lawyers and health care administrators, but for all health care professionals. Book jacket. |
