Download or read book Medicare Laboratory Payment Policy written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-12-04 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical laboratory tests play an integral role in helping physicians diagnose and treat patients. New developments in laboratory technology offer the prospect of improvements in diagnosis and care, but will place an increased burden on the payment system. Medicare, the federal program providing coverage of health-care services for the elderly and disabled, is the largest payer of clinical laboratory services. Originally designed in the early 1980s, Medicare's payment policy methodology for outpatient laboratory services has not evolved to take into account technology, market, and regulatory changes, and is now outdated. This report examines the current Medicare payment methodology for outpatient clinical laboratory services in the context of environmental and technological trends, evaluates payment policy alternatives, and makes recommendations to improve the system.

The book contains chapters on1.Human anatomy and physiology2.Hematology and Blood Banking3.Clinical Pathology4.Medical BiochemistryHuman anatomy and physiology chapters serve the knowledge of the structure and function of a healthy human body and the changes which take place when disease interferes with normal processes. Hematology is a branch of science deals with study of blood, its components and changes it undergoes during illness. While blood banking is a science which deals with collecting, testing and transfusing blood and its products for replacement of lost blood. Clinical Pathology is a basic subject in laboratory science which deals with examination of various body fluids / Excreta for presence of multiple factors like chemical, biological and physical as cause or effect of illness. Biochemistry (medical) is a study of chemical components of human body. Estimation of chemical molecules is essential to know disease process at molecular level and thus biochemistry help us to identify abnormal function at earlier stage of diseases and it is also useful for prognostic purpose.
