Host: Bill Rutenberg, MD

Guest: Robert Wagner, MD

Whether to admit or observe a ER patient is not always clear cut. What criteria should you use to make this decision? How can you be sure that your decision process will be supported and covered by CMS? What if CMS isn’t ultimately willing to pay for the services? Join host Dr. Bill Rutenberg in conversation with Dr. Robert Wagner, Director and CMO of Accretive Health to discuss the frequent dilemma of whether or not to admit a patient and the tools and guidelines available to support you in that decision.
