    Nt1330 Week 1 Case Clinic Weight Solutions Clinic

    After the initial consultation, about 40 percent of the patients decided to avoid surgery and try other methods for weight loss. The patients who opted for surgery spent another 10 minutes with the surgeon as he requested a set of tests (e.g., blood, psychological, endocrine, cardiology, and radiology). Next, the patient returned to the receptionist and arranged for an appointment for the tests. Setting up the second appointment took about five minutes. When the patient returned for the second appointment, he went to one of the two outpatient rooms where the care nurse performed the tests. The entire battery of tests required about 60 minutes per patient. Test results were typically available within two days. During this time, the patient also decided whether he would pay in cash and immediately schedule an operation date, or apply to his insurance company for reimbursement and schedule an appointment after the company gave its approval. Those patients who opted to pay by cash called the receptionist and scheduled a pre-surgery visit with a surgeon. Arranging these appointments took five minutes. If the patient wanted insurance reimbursement, the process took much longer. A surgeon had to spend about 20 minutes preparing a letter explaining why the gastric surgery was a medical necessity and then send it to the insurance company to get approval. About half the cases were approved within three weeks. For the remaining 50 percent, the insurance company asked for additional tests and records. This response also took about three weeks. Those patients then had to schedule another visit with a surgeon and undertake the additional tests. The call for the appointment (to the receptionist) took about five minutes; the visit with the surgeon took about 15 minutes; and the additional tests, handled by a care nurse, took about 30 minutes. The results of the additional tests were available within two days and were sent to the…

    Radiology Case Scenarios

    According to the last two fiscal years, the radiology department had revenues of $1,500,000 and incurred expenses totaling $875,000, with a profit of $625,000. From our calculation the new CT and ultrasound machine will bring in about $250,000 in the first year double in the second year. With the new investment and how the radiology department revenues has been growing the last six years, the department revenues will continue to grow and we will be able to recoup the money in two years or less, taking into account the new revenue coming from CT and ultrasound…

    In order to address the immediate scheduling issue at the Clinic, we are proposing to amend the contract with BCMC in order to bring the scheduling operation in-house. We believe this is necessary to bring our scanning lead time down and increase the productivity of our sole MR Technologist. Although we will be adding this operation to our current workload, we will be able to meet our promise of scanning two patients per hour. In addition, we will no longer have to pay the $5.00 per scan fee to BCMC, and we will eliminate the need to hire a second MR Technologist.…

    I think the timely response mandate is the time that is given for the physician to complete the medical record, as well as any amendments made to the health record and if there was any revocation of any authorizations done to a medical record. From that I have been reading healthcare entities have 15 days to complete the revocation of authorization. They have around the same amount of time to do any amendments that needed completed to the medical record. The ROI (release of information) must be completed in a timely manner as well.…

    Calculating the yearly expenses is easy, we just multiplied the cost per day ($500) times the number of days open (200) yearly. So the yearly expenses are $500 * 200 = $100,000. The net income was found by subtracting expenses from income. $660,000 - $100,000 = $560,000, which is the amount made from ticket sales.…
