Treatment programs require a high level of support from medical service providers, and not only related to patient care.
Headlands supports its treatment program partners in many areas including regulatory compliance, medical risk management, and training of treatment program nursing and clinical staff. We support your need to meet insurance mandates, participate in insurance reviews, and assist with client requests for disability applications and work letters. Without this level of support, you are losing revenue due to unauthorized treatment days, rejected claims, and increased rates of AMA from unhappy clients.
Operating a successful treatment program requires navigating a jungle of insurance, state, federal and accreditation agency regulations. Many of these regulations dictate the manner and method by which medical services are delivered. If your medical service providers are not-well versed in regulatory mandates, or operationally inacabable of meeting mandates, this puts your program at risk.
Our healthcare quality assurance team has accumulated years of experience working with treatment programs to ensure that they remain above board with regulatory compliance. We understand regulations pertaining to the delivery of medical services at the level of individual insurers, state, and national requirements.
We regularly advise and assist treatment programs on the following issues:
We recognize the remarkable value treatment programs provide their clients. Unfortunately, federal, state, and local regulations, while vital to your patient’s well-being, may make it difficult for your program to thrive. On top of that, insurance mandates are notoriously fussy; your program can lose reimbursement for any number of reasons.
At Headlands ATS, we make our partner’s vitality our priority. Our 70-plus years of combined experience benefit our partnering facilities with keen attention to detail in all matters. We ensure our partners have the proper program support to thrive in a system with heavy government and private intervention.
We provide the following kinds of program support:
Many treatment programs struggle with organization and leadership within their nursing and medical technician support staffs. Without proper training and well-designed medical protocols, treatment programs cannot achieve their highest potential. Disorganization in the delivery of medical services results in low morale among employees and dissatisfaction among your clients.
Here is how we help:
If there is one thing that newly admitted clients worry about, its keeping their jobs and providing for their families while they are in treatment. Many clients leave treatment early over these concerns. We ensure timely completion and turn-around of disability forms, FMLA, and work letters so that your clients can focus on what matters – participating in treatment.
Pharmacy and laboratory logistics can be challenging for treatment programs. Newly admitted clients need ready to access to medications for their comfort and safety. Delays in access to medication are frequently associated with AMA episodes.
Good client care includes laboratory screening for conditions commonly caused by or related to heavy substance use. Your clients are often anxious about their health status and would like to know the results of lab screening.
Headlands has developed processes and logistics protocols to ensure that your clients have access to medications at the time of admission. Your clients will also feel reassured knowing that they have access to laboratory screening with short turnaround of results.
