    Doctor, Retail Clinic, Urgent Care or ER? Quick reference guide for PPO network treatment resources Sometimes it’s easy to know when you should go to an emergency room (ER), such as when you have severe chest pain or unstoppable bleeding. At other times, it’s less clear. Where do you go when you have an ear infection or are not feeling well? The emergency room is an option, but it can be an expensive one. You have choices for receiving in-network care that works with your schedule and gives you access to the kind of care you need. Know when to use each for nonemergency treatment. Care Option Hours Your Relative Cost* Description Doctor’s Office Office hours vary Usually lower Your doctor’s office is generally the best place to go for out-of-pocket cost to nonemergency care such as health exams, colds, flu, sore throats you than urgent care and minor injuries.

  • Let's Talk Motherhood: a Guide to Postpartum from GEHA
    Let’s talk motherhood A postpartum guide Adapted from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Contents 02 Contents 03 Introduction 06 Healthy baby information 12 Healing after labor and delivery 19 Exercise and nutrition 22 Resources Congratulations on your new baby!

This guide is intended to help keep you on track as your baby’s health progresses, make you feel less alone as your body changes after pregnancy and provide resources for further help. GEHA is proud to be your partner in this new life chapter.

Schedule of well-baby visits As a parent, you want your child to be healthy and develop normally. That’s why well-child doctor visits are so important, particularly in the first 15 months of life.

The doctor will check your baby’s growth and development and record your child’s height, weight and other important information. Tests for hearing, vision and other functions will be part of some visits. First year visits Second year visits Visits occur at ages one, two, four, six and Visits occur at ages 12, 15, 18 and 24 months.

  • OASIS Questions and Answers
    OASIS Coordinators' Conference Reference Manual Tab 7: OASIS Questions and Answers Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services RM-429 OASIS Coordinators' Conference Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services RM-430 OASIS Coordinators' Conference CATEGORY 1 – APPLICABILITY [Q&A EDITED 09/09] Q1. To whom do the OASIS requirements apply? A1. The comprehensive assessment and OASIS data collection requirements apply to Medicare certified home health agencies (HHAs) and to Medicaid home health providers in States where those agencies are required to meet the Medicare Conditions of Participation. The comprehensive assessment requirement currently applies to all patients regardless of pay source, including Medicare, Medicaid, Medicare managed care (now known as Medicare Advantage), Medicaid managed care, and private pay/including commercial insurance. The comprehensive assessment must include OASIS items for all skilled Medicare, Medicaid, and Medicare or Medicaid managed care patients with the following exceptions: patients under the age of 18, patients receiving maternity services, patients receiving only chore or housekeeping services, and patients receiving only a single visit in a quality episode. Section 704 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 temporarily suspended OASIS data collection for non-Medicare and non-Medicaid patients. OASIS requirements for patients receiving only personal care (non-skilled) services have been delayed since 1999. The transmission requirement currently applies to Medicare and Medicaid patients receiving skilled care only. Note: The Medicare PPS reimbursement system requires a PPS (HHRG/HIPPS) code to be submitted on the claim of any Medicare PPS patient under 18 or receiving maternity services. While the OASIS data set was not designed for these population types, and is not required by regulation to be collected, in these rare instances, HHAs desiring to receive payment under Medicare PPS would need to collect the data necessary to generate a HHRG/ HIPPS code.
