OKLAHOMA LEADS, SOUTH CAROLINA TRAILS IN VISITS PER EPISODE
Published on Tue May 13, 2003
How do you stack up to other home health agencies in your state? If you're served by regional home health intermediary Palmetto GBA, you can find out how you compare for the last quarter of 2002 in a number of categories - episodes per beneficiary, visits per episode, percentage of claims that are low utilization payment adjustments (for less than five visits) and percentage of claims that are outliers. Palmetto appears to be heeding providers' requests for more current utilization data against which to compare themselves.
