PAYING FOR HOSPITAL AND PHYSICIAN SERVICES

Assignment Overview

Third-party payers are the insurers that reimburse physicians and health care systems for services rendered – which identifies them as a central source of revenue for physicians and health care systems. This includes the two main categories of payers: the private insurances (such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield, etc.), and the public/government programs (such as Medicare/Medicaid/SCHIPs).

Third-party payers use a variety of reimbursement methods to pay providers and hospitals, depending on the specific payer involved and also the specific service(s) provided (outpatient or inpatient). The calculations vary and can be complicated, but they are critical to understand in terms of the basic math behind them. It’s also important to understand how the different payers compare in terms of reimbursement levels. Let’s move forward to examine how services are paid for by the third-party payers.

[Solved] “ Team Player ”

Module 8 Discussion

Olivia, a new BCBA, has just begun working at a human service organization. Immediately after onboarding, she begins reviewing and learning about her new client’s existing programs. Her clinical director contacts her within two days of hire and mentions that Olivia will be taking on the supervisees and trainees from a BCBA who has left the organization suddenly. It amounts to 10 RBTs, 3 BCaBAs, and 3 trainees who are working towards certification. Olivia wants the clinical director to think she is a “team player”, so she agrees, even though she has barely caught up on her new cases.

What are the potential ethical code violations that may occur because of this situation? What would you recommend that Olivia do to resolve this issue?
