Download or read book Healthcare Financial Operations Manual for Independent Practice Associations written by James W. Karling and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2000-03-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only recently, the physician setting up his own practice was considered an anachronism. And doctors loosely affiliated with an independent practice association (IPA) fared no better. Lacking capital, financial management, and the mechanisms for adequate medical and information system management, many IPAs around the country were coping with financial instability. From the outset, IPAs seemed doomed to obsolescence by the organizational efficiencies and superior resources of third-party payors. Yet, in the early 1990s, IPAs underwent a remarkable turnaround?building infrastructure, investing in MIS systems, and accepting risk?transforming themselves into genuine competitors in healthcare quality and efficiency with HMOs. In fact, IPAs have become an increasingly common healthcare delivery model, offering distinct advantages over other payors to physicians interested in the administrative gains and security of a group practice, while still retaining their autonomy. Healthcare Financial Operations Manual for Independent Practice Associations is the first comprehensive guide to setting up an IPA, detailing the many operational, legal, and logistical complexities of managing a physician-owned organization. Since controlling the financial and tax aspects of an IPA is critical to its survival, the Manual addresses an entire range of financial accounting concerns, including accounting concepts and methods for an IPA, internal control procedures, insurance issues, tax issues, policy guidance, and profit-making issues. Specific topics addressed include: How to manage and report primary, specialty, and inpatient care How to credential IPA providers How to negotiate contracts for single specialty and multispecialty IPAs Antitrust laws and IPAs?with a case study of a Florida IPA Why IPAs fail The book also clearly outlines how to acquire and negotiate a managed care contract and, with the help of its disk, provides a host of checklists, forms, and five sample contracts (not included in the book) that allow the user to chart his or her progress and get quickly up to speed on the essential paperwork. The Manual also provides hands-on advice on setting up an efficient computer system for an IPA, reflecting the acknowledged role of a first-rate information system in an IPA?s success. Offering candid, real-world guidance on setting up and successfully administering an IPA, Healthcare Financial Operations Manual for Independent Practice Associations is the complete reference to making an IPA work?for both doctor and patient.

He coauthored the IPA Association of America?s Financial Accounting Manual for IPAs. The IPA finally comes of age?in the first comprehensive guide to successfully managing one In only a few short years, independent practice associations (IPAs) have been able to transform themselves?shedding their image as a healthcare delivery system ranking a distant second to HMOs. Revitalized with a new infrastructure, improved medical management and information systems, and forms of risk assumption, the IPA is suddenly marketable. Expanded geographic coverage, lower overhead, and a wide range of specialties are only part of the reason. Its other advantages?practical and administrative?are detailed in the first comprehensive guide to setting one up and making it work: Healthcare Financial Operations Manual for Independent Practice Associations. Focusing largely on survival issues, the Manual addresses a host of key financial accounting concerns, including accounting concepts and methods for an IPA, internal control procedures, insurance issues, tax issues, policy guidance, and profit-making issues, including such specifics as: Management tools and reporting for primary, specialty, and inpatient care Credentialing IPA providers Risk pool accounting and auditing Also clearly outlined are tips on how to acquire and negotiate a managed care contract (for both single specialty and multispecialty IPAs) as well as hands-on advice on setting up an efficient, first-rate claims payment system. And the book?s disk provides a complete package of checklists, forms, and five sample contracts (not included in the book) essential to managing an IPA. The book also includes a summary "Physician and IPA Toolkit" appendix, offers cautionary advice on why IPAs fail, and describes the current status of antitrust laws and IPAs. Healthcare Financial Operations Manual for Independent Practice Associations is a complete primer to setting up what is now one of the most efficient and cost-effective healthcare delivery systems available, one that meets the bottom-line needs of both doctor and patient.

Download or read book Medical Practice Management in the 21st Century written by Marjorie Satinsky and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title includes a Foreword by John W Bachman, Professor of Medicine, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minnesota. Mastering the art of medical practice management requires knowledge that most physicians don't learn in medical school, residency, and fellowship training. Successful practice management in the 21st century requires physicians to understand how to organize and manage a practice, manage their finances, recruit, work with, and manage people within and outside of the practice, improve healthcare delivery and clinical outcomes, and ensure compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. "Medical Practice Management in the 21st Century: The Handbook" addresses multiple aspects of medical practice management. It offers both background information and practical tools. The workbook format, supported by web-based tools, allows busy physicians to gain a basic understanding of many topics, determine strategies for their practices, and seek additional information when they want it. This guide will be ideal for both physicians who need business guidance as they begin their careers and physicians who are already in practice and want to enhance their business skills. Many physicians can't afford or choose not to hire a professional practice administrator or manager; this book will help them assume managerial responsibilities with the same level of confidence that they bring to clinical care. Physicians in academic medical centers who manage departments, programs, or research studies will also benefit. "This book is essential for any clinician planning to open a new practice or attempting to improve the quality and efficiency of an existing practice. Read and learn." - John Bachman MD, in the Foreword. "Written for the busy practitioner - clear, concise, and practical without any wasted space. I wish I had had this resource when I was starting practice. It's the bible for practice management, just as the "Washington Manual" was in earlier years." - Robert S Galvin, MD, Director of Global Healthcare for General Electric. "Important. Crosses many boundaries, covering a wide variety of topics. Guides physicians in developing the infrastructure that they need to succeed." - John Fallon, MD, Chief Physician Executive, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts. "There is no better book or resource to use to develop the necessary proficiency to run a first-class, stellar practice than this. All who read this book will be able to ensure that every patient has a positive experience with your practice and will not only enjoy the experience but will tell other physicians, their family and their friends about you and your practice and thus make your practice thrive and prosper." - Dr Neil Baum, Clinical Associate Professor of Urology, Tulane Medical School, New Orleans, Louisiana. "I love the chapter on financial management. It is very complete and gives a non-business major a good grasp of complicated information." - Allen R. Wenner, MD, family medicine practitioner, West Columbia Family Medicine, South Carolina. "I like the format of the exhibits. In the chapter on financial management, the side-by-side problem/solution approach is easily understandable and lends itself to a solution oriented approach. I can spot my own practice's issues and immediately understand what to do without searching through a lot of text." - Tom Sena, MD, President of Raleigh Children and Adolescents Medicine, Raleigh, North Carolina. "Full of good material which I am actively planning to use. Extremely helpful!" - Dr Damian McHugh, President, Raleigh Emergency Medicine Associates, Raleigh, NC.
