    Pay-For-Performance is a health care payment system developed to try and address the shortfalls of the current reimbursement payment system. Incentives are paid to hospitals, physicians, and clinics for the improved quality of care for patients, efficiency of care, and improved health outcomes of patients. Pay-For-Performance is part of the improvement of quality as well as a cost management tool. Currently the reimbursement system that is in place pays for services rendered prompting providers to order tests or services that may not be necessary but offer them a better reimbursement. Pay-For-Performance will pay for the improved treatment and health of a patient, so instead of just ordering a bunch of services providers will focus more on…

    ACCOUNTABLE PLAN It is the policy of the company to reimburse any officer or employee for company expenses paid for by such individuals from their own personal funds on the Company’s behalf, in the pursuit of company business. It is the intent of this resolution to satisfy the Accountable Plan requirements under Internal Revenue Code Section 61(c) and the substantiation requirements under Internal Revenue Code Section 274(d). Moreover, Section 1.62-2(c)(1) of the Income Tax Regulations provides that a reimbursement or other expense allowance arrangement for business expenses paid or incurred by an employee are paid under an accountable plan if the arrangement meets the three requirements of a business connection, substantiation, and returning amounts in excess of expenses. Therefore, all reimbursements will follow these simple guidelines: 1) All individuals seeking reimbursement shall substantiate the expense by providing proof of payment in the form of an invoice to the company prior to any reimbursement. Accordingly, employees are required to submit detailed expense reports describing each element of an expenditure with the necessary receipts within 30 days of returning from a business trip or incurring an entertainment expense but no later than 60 days after it is paid or incurred. 2) All expenses must be determined to have a direct business connection relating to the operations of the Company, personal expenses will not be reimbursed. Personal expenses if reimbursed will be treated as W-2 wages to the employee. 3) All reimbursements by the Corporation shall be made for the expended amounts, pursuant to substantiated business expenses approved from employee expense reports or the proper invoices being submitted by the individual employee seeking reimbursement. The reimbursement relating to travel and entertainment expenses requires employees to describe each expense, the business purpose it served, and, for entertainment expenses, the…

    When the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) came up with the idea that hospitals will not be reimbursed for preventable infections, I said to myself, someone is finally listening. Many hospitals have failed to adhere to their own protocols. Because of non-reimbursement issues, hospitals have clamped down on violators and implemented various committees to oversee those areas in question. For example, Foley catheters are now been removed promptly post operatively, sequential compression devices are been monitored more closely and hand sanitizers are installed at the entrances and in rooms of patient’s rooms. Chamberlain College of Nursing, (2015) argued that “no discussion of reimbursement is more important…
