thats fine but they are also gonna stop paying for complications unseen or not...so surgeons beware..if you have a patient with a hematoma or wound dehiscence it doesn't matter that she is a 800 pound slug who ran accross the house for that 10lb of doughnuts....you will not get reimbursed for fixing the dehiscence

there is also a nifty thing in medicare that if your patient is readmitted to the hospital for any reason wit6hin 24hrs of discharge they will not pay for anything done uncluding the previous admission
