(RIVERWOODS, ILL., March 21, 2002) – CCH INCORPORATED (CCH), a leading provider of health law information and software, has published the 2002 edition of Medicare Explained, an essential desktop reference on current Medicare payments and policies.

Accounting firms, attorneys, financial planners, health agencies, health providers and Medicare beneficiaries can all benefit from this thorough treatment of the federal government’s healthcare programs for the aged and disabled – popularly called Medicare.

At the core of Medicare Explained are straightforward explanations of Medicare Part A payments to hospitals and other facilities, Medicare part B payments to physicians and the Medicare+Choice program for managed care, sometimes called Medicare Part C. In chapters devoted to each program, Medicare Explained details eligibility standards, application or enrollment and premiums or other payments. It also thoroughly explains the services covered and benefits provided. In addition, the book devotes separate chapters to exclusions from coverage, administrative provisions, payment rules and claims and appeals.

In addition to covering the latest premiums and deductibles, the 2002 edition of the annually revised Medicare Explained brings readers up to date on regulatory developments, such as those intended to integrate new technologies more quickly into the hospital prospective payment system (PPS), the new inpatient rehabilitation facility PPS, payments relating to skilled nursing care in swing-bed facilities and medical privacy data regulations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
