    So is this position calling on referral sources, or patients? Or both? In terms of patients, the ones already in NHs or assisted living? Or do you meet with their families? Any *true* information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I have a question: Are you sure no other competitor has a program like this? How can the program only route patients to Amedisys? Is it because the program is user friendly and more convenient for the doc to just get on that program and send to Amedisys or does the program automatically route patients their way?

    I am not defending this program, just asking; but it seems that helping the docs with the correct billing codes would not be in any violations, and not sure how that is considered a kickback?

    Any feedback?

    I would think it creates unfair competition, monopolizing the referrals by "bribing" the physicians by making their work easier with billing! Pharma sure would not get away with that!

    Is it hard to meet quota, do they make it realistic? Do they just fire you if you don't or do they try to help you and see what the problem might be? Why did they go to GPS, did they have problems with reps not working? I can see it from a business standpoint but for an employee I think it is a little unsettling! I guess if you think about it though if you are in an office it is like GPS being in a cubicle all day! However, I thought one of the perks of being a sales rep was autonomy and flexibility! Bet they lost some reps over it! Have only been here a week so don't know much yet!

    I'm sorry to hear about your recent departure from AMEDISYS but I think you need to check your facts on CMS guidelines and Mercury Doc! Oh and not to mention, the patient is not billed unless they have a "deductible" to meet and the only time they should have a deductable under part A is if they have a medicare plan, like Aetna MC. Good luck in your endevours and I wouldn't burn too many bridges if I were you!

    If you would read the post correctly it states that Medicare is noticing too many patients being billed for this, which means Amedisys is billing Patient's medicare, not the patient!!!

    If you read that post more carefully, you'll realize that those facts about Medicare and Mercury Doc are correct. That post isn't saying that patients are being billed. Rather, their insurance, in this case Medicare, is being billed. CMS is noticing too many claims for services that are not being billed at such a high rate from other home health companies around the country.

    I had to leave Amedisys b/c my husband is in the miltary and we moved, but we were highly encouraged to use Balanced for Life much more frequently than normal, and I know the AEs really pushed Mercury Doc and had competitions within the company to see who could sign up more doctors during a given period of time.

    This program is unique only to Amedisys. I don't know of any other company who has anything like it. There certainly aren't any companie who have something like it in the area I live. Yes, if a doctor uses Mercury Doc, the referral only goes to Amedisys. If a doctor wants to send a patient to another company, which they are permitted to do, they would have to fax it to them like everyone else. By signing on with Mercury Doc, doctors aren't signing an agreement stating that they will only send referrals to Amedisys. However, other companies are complaining that this is happening anyway as a by product. It makes sense; doctos like to use companies that make their jobs easier.

    That post is correct. CMS is simply noticing that they are getting billed for services at a much higher rate than other companies. I'm a COTA and I left Amedisys to go work for a hospital and I got a call from a law firm about this same exact thing. I don't know much about the ins and outs of Mercury Doc other than they are electronic orders between Amedisys and doctors, but I was asked about Balanced for Life.

    Why would a lawyer be investingating and not CMS themselves? CMS is not shy about fining companies or taking away their license. How did you like Amedisys?
