Medicare case management.
Medicare reimbursement allows home care nurses to provide management and evaluation (MAE) of the patient care. The service is a model of nurses providing case management for persons at risk for rehospitalization. This article describes the program, lists criteria for identifying MAE-eligible patients, and describes documentation issues when providing MAE-type care.
