Overview:
Providers are required by law to honor patients' right to freedom of choice of providers. Ethically, providers are also required to respect this important patients' right. Providers, however, regularly encounter a number of issues related to this legal and ethical right of patients, including: What should discharge planners/case managers do when patients cannot or do not wish to exercise this right? What about physicians who write orders for specific post-acute providers or who pressure patients to accept the provider of their choice? What does the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 require with regard to this right? What do Conditions of Participation (COP's) for hospitals have to say about this issue? What is the latest guidance from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG)?
The purpose of this presentation is to address all of the issues described above as well as other dilemmas that providers regularly confront in their efforts to comply with applicable legal and ethical requirements. The emphasis will be on recent developments and practical solutions to situations that providers regularly encounter.
