Week 8 Discussion

Please respond to the following: Note: Please respond to the following items in a primary posting of at least 175 words. In addition, please make a substantive comment (at least five sentences) to one [1] of your classmates.

The leaders of the Civil Rights Movement inspired Women’s Equality activists to demonstrate, and put their bodies on the line, to achieve equal and fair treatment for women. This fight for gender equality had been a long one. From the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, to the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, women and men continue to push for a more fair and just society. This week’s question asks students to explore one failed aspect of this fight: The Equal Rights Amendment. Explain what the ERA is and what the arguments for and against the amendment have been over the twentieth century. This means that students should examine not only the disposition of the fight over the legislation in the seventies, but also why Alice Paul crafted the amendment and why people fought against the bill in the 1920’s. Finally, students will explain why the amendment failed to be ratified and added to the constitution.

This is very timely as you recently received a call on your “hotline” regarding a potential fraud and abuse issue.  The caller indicated that Dr. Greedy was billing for services that had not been provided.  You are in danger of losing reimbursement for Medicare and Medicaid programs if this behavior is not stopped.   Your feature should address the ethical and moral components that healthcare providers and healthcare facilities face with fraud and abuse issues.  Your research should include the following aspects:

      3. Obtaining additional information as necessary and developing a plan for the investigation:  What other items are important to the investigation?
      4. Conducting interviews with staff, residents and/or management: Delineate the types of questions to ask in the interview.
      5. Determining if the allegations are substantiated or unsubstantiated: Identify criteria to determine if substantiated or unsubstantiated.

 

    1. How to develop a correction action plan. The plan may suggest:

 

    1. A recommendation for a subsequent audit or follow-up to the complaint and determination of when this is necessary.
    2. A recommendation to refund any overpayments to federal government, insurance company or individual payer and when that may be the best course of action.
