Medicare's "Psychiatric DRGs" - Anticipating the Financial Impact on Hospitals and Private Sector Organizations
Join Henry G. Dove, Ph.D., President of Casemix Consulting, LLC and Yale University Lecturer, as he reviews the new Psychiatric DRGs. In April 2005, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented DRGs for psychiatric services. Hospitals, formerly paid using a historical cost-based reimbursement, are now being paid on the basis of the new Psychiatric DRGs. Any change to CMS reimbursement can have a profound impact on providers and payors. Learn the ins and outs of this new payment structure, the "technical adjustments" and how to position your organization for success.

David K. Nace, MD, Principal of Health Strategy Solutions, will be the conference moderator.
