Acute Care Case Managers Face a Unique Set of Challenges
We see the questions every day in our Case Managers Community Facebook Group.
- Who should be receiving the Important Messages from Medicare (IMM)?
- What is the proper use of Condition Code 44?
- Who should be receiving the Medicare Outpatient Observation Notice (MOON)?
- What are the rules and regulations regarding discharge appeals?
- What are all the different Medicare notices/forms, etc to be aware of and understand?
And questions like Kristie’s…
“Newbie medicare question: where do you find all these rules? My preceptor has them all in her head and I need a list. How do you remember it all?”
And that’s just Medicare! There are also questions about safe transfers, guardianship, abuse and neglect, implicit bias, patient education, and so many others!
