If a patient meets criteria they will
be admitted to the hospital and
Medicare will pay the hospital
If a patient does not meet criteria,
three cases exist al another route of
medical treatment is used, i e . Nur
sing home care, outpatient care or
home health care, for example bl if
weather, lack of family or other ex
tenuating circumstances exists, given
the doctor'» opinion, the patient may
be hospitalized and given a "le tte r
of denial " This letter informs the
patient that Medicard will not pay for
his illness or injury This makes the
patient or patient's family responsi
ble for the payments on the bill
However, the patient may question
or appeal the denial, c) The patient,
upon denial, recognizes that he may
not need hospitalizaiton. refuse other
care mechanisms, i e .. home health,
and therefore becomes responsible
for the bill in full
Pioneer Memorial Hospital does
not believe that pervxis should be
denied medical care, says Hempel,
but rather that cost effective care
benefits the patient, the hospital and
the tax payers.
T h e patient wishes to be in the
hospital but has no justifiable
medical reason to be there This
system allows the taxpayers to "get
o ff the hook "
-This system stops hospitals from
denying medical care without just
cause and reasons Medical care at
Pioneer Memorial Hospital is high
quality, cost conscious care
If any grixips, for example Senior
Citizens, wish a more detailed ex
planation. Hempel say he wtxild be
glad to explain personally Contact
John Hempel at 676-9133
