Abstract

Home care agencies have been under the Medicare microscope lately for issues of fraud; the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) is retooling its audit process in light of this focus. HCFA is also reconsidering its policies on deductible costs of lobbying. What do agencies need to know about this and other issues to stay financially healthy?

Guidelines for guidelines.

Practice guidelines are proliferating in medicine. In addition to methodological problems that cause guidelines to be outdated rapidly, they are plagued by conflicts of interest. They are largely consensus opinions of panels of experts, most of whom are supported by industry. Professional societies, health insurers, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and dialysis providers also benefit from guidelines. Little attention is paid to the potential for harm to patients, and to the profession of medicine, from the widespread use of guidelines.
