5.0 out of 5 stars Great Job Murer Group!, April 20, 2000

This review is from: Post Acute Care Reimbursement Manual (Hfma Healthcare Financial Management Series) (Hardcover)

The Murer Group's Post Acute Care Reimbursement Manual is an essential educational and reference resource for hospital administrators. After first reading the manual, I felt I had completed a semester course on the Post Acute Care Continuum. These authors demonstrate talent in converting complex regulation language into "lay-person" terms. The Manual should be required reading for mid-level Management through top-level Administration involved in the post-acute care continuum. Great Job Murer Group!

1.0 out of 5 stars Inaccurate, August 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Post Acute Care Reimbursement Manual (Hfma Healthcare Financial Management Series) (Hardcover)

This book has several serious inaccuracies. Particularly poor is the section on reimbursement for rehabilitation units. I am the nursing director of a rehabilitation unit and am able to spot problem after problem with this chapter. The book's subject matter is a welcome blessing because there is not a lot out there on post-acute reimbursement. However, the book cannot be relied upon for factual information and the interpretation of the law.

This review is from: Post Acute Care Reimbursement Manual (Hfma Healthcare Financial Management Series) (Hardcover)

I read this terrific manual while working as a free-lance healthcare writer. I found it comprehensive and thoroughly readable. It clarified the structuring of reimbursement in different venues of care. It's invaluable for any professional who needs an understanding of the post-acute care regulatory environment.
