If there are any readers out there who practice home health, I'd truly appreciate it if you could spend a moment responding to this message. I am working for a for-profit agency. As such, the owner will not turn down any referrals (esp. medicare....ethics questions, but not in this message), irrespective of the distance that clinicians have to commute to cover them. I am reimbursed .36/mile (used to work for an agency that reimbursed current IRS allowable (.48.5/mile so got spoiled) and on average travel 350 to 600 miles a week. My biweekly "quota" or productivity expectation is 64 units/points (an evaluation visit counts as 1.5, a regular revisit counts as 1, and a discharge OASIS counts as 1.5; meetings are counted as points/units for time). Questions: Are there any of you who travel more? Are any of you either not reimbursed for mileage at all, or reimbursed at a lower rate? Are there any of you who have higher "quotas?" Again, thanks for your time. If you'd prefer to respond directly to my e-mail (although others would miss the benefit or your responses) feel free to do that as well: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Maloney, OTR Dallas, TX -- Options? www.otnow.com/mailman/options/otlist_otnow.com
