🏥 Did you know your hospital classification as inpatient or outpatient can significantly impact your Medicare coverage and costs? Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospital stays and post-hospital care in a skilled nursing facility, but only if you're an inpatient for at least three days. Outpatient care, which includes emergency services and observation, falls under Part B and doesn't cover post-hospital nursing home care. If your status is changed from inpatient to outpatient, you can appeal to regain Part A coverage. This right, secured in a 2020 lawsuit, ensures you can challenge reclassifications that affect your benefits. Learn more about your rights and how to protect your coverage.

I love is work. This interview is the truth. I am ok with working from a place of truth. Additionally, the corporatization of healthcare is suffocating individualized patient care. While we focus on clinical practices, we're overlooking a critical factor: the business arm of the healthcare system wields immense, often underestimated influence over patient experiences. Their decisions on staffing ratios make personalized care nearly impossible. Their budget allocations dictate precious minutes spent with each patient. In essence, boardroom choices are silently shaping bedside realities, transforming care from a human-centered practice into a race against the clock. Until we confront these systemic issues, the promise of truly individualized healthcare will remain frustratingly out of reach.

Would your employees benefit from care when and how (in-person, telehealth, message, phone call) they need it and longer appointments to address all their healthcare needs. This is Lainey’s WHY she loves working for Exemplar Care as she fiercely cares for her patients. Our July NPS score was +95. The average NPS for healthcare is between +38 and +58. As you approach renewal season, consider a health plan, such as Aplos Health Plans that includes #DirectPrimaryCare or consider layering into your High Deductible or Self- Insured plan or as a stand alone option. Consider your options, so your employees can experience the difference of +95 NPS care. Happy, healthy employees increase engagement and reduce overall claims.
