Episode 2: Medicare Part A

What's the difference between Home Health and Home Care? How do Medicare Part A and Part B work? How do you order DME for your patient? When and how should you order home oxygen? What's new in the eldercare space?
For physicians, other healthcare professionals, and senior-serving professionals, interacting with Medicare can be complicated and wrought with pitfalls, which, if not understood and managed, will mire your practice in endless paperwork and frustration.
