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.

Havens also recently completed a five-part video series on healthcare subjects sponsored by Westcott Communications that is being promoted nationally to CPAs, consultants, and healthcare professionals. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobel Prize-winning economist explains why we need to reclaim finance for the common good The reputation of the financial industry could hardly be worse than it is today in the painful aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. New York Times best-selling economist Robert Shiller is no apologist for the sins of finance—he is probably the only person to have predicted both the stock market bubble of 2000 and the real estate bubble that led up to the subprime mortgage meltdown. But in this important and timely book, Shiller argues that, rather than condemning finance, we need to reclaim it for the common good. He makes a powerful case for recognizing that finance, far from being a parasite on society, is one of the most powerful tools we have for solving our common problems and increasing the general well-being. We need more financial innovation—not less—and finance should play a larger role in helping society achieve its goals. Challenging the public and its leaders to rethink finance and its role in society, Shiller argues that finance should be defined not merely as the manipulation of money or the management of risk but as the stewardship of society's assets. He explains how people in financial careers—from CEO, investment manager, and banker to insurer, lawyer, and regulator—can and do manage, protect, and increase these assets. He describes how finance has historically contributed to the good of society through inventions such as insurance, mortgages, savings accounts, and pensions, and argues that we need to envision new ways to rechannel financial creativity to benefit society as a whole. Ultimately, Shiller shows how society can once again harness the power of finance for the greater good.
