Regarding “Docs welcome Medicare pay for care coordination, but worry about administrative burdens”:
So docs are embracing payment for care-coordination services they provide outside of their offices?
Nurses do the actual care-coordination work
Wait a minute. MDs are not performing these care-coordinator roles, RNs are. The billing will not be for work done by the MD, but will instead be work done by the RN and billed incident to the doctor.
What MD wouldn't welcome being paid for care coordination and case-management services provided with the expertise of another profession?
