Book and tools
Learn how whole-person care can work in real life.
A book gives a team room to slow down and look closely. Who is the person? Who is on the team? What do they do together? What keeps the work going?
We write to help readers connect the care they want to give with the choices that make it possible.
The Medicare book
Second Edition in preparation
Incident-to is a Medicare billing term. This book explains it for counselors who work with medical teams. It looks at who does the work, who is in charge, and which payment questions must be answered.
Readers will learn who may do the work in a medical practice, how the team divides responsibility, and which payment questions to settle before a service starts. Each chapter ends with the questions a team should ask. The second edition is in preparation.
The second edition is being written and reviewed now. You can read about its planned scope.
Start with the question you have
Know what a statement rests on
A rule, a research study, and an author’s advice answer different kinds of questions. For a rule, the program, the place, and the date matter. For a study, ask who was studied and what was measured. Advice should look like advice.
Rules can change after a book is printed.
Kedge, a separate company, helps practices work through the specific rules for their situation.
