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!

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.

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.
