How many more visits will the company generate if it accepts Medicare patients?Using the Gentiva Health Services Statement of Incomehttp://investors.gentiva.com/financials.cfm, use the following volumes for your calculations:
The president of Gentiva Health Services is considering increasing her number of Medicare patients served next year. However, to do so she must begin to use RNs for client visits, which Medicare reimburses at $45 per visit. An RN costs $35 per hour versus the current cost of $15 for an LPN or nurseâ??s aide. The president believes she can increase her patient visits by 15% by accepting Medicare patients. She is also aware that if she increases her Medicare patients, the companyâ??s administrative costs will increase by approximately $10,000 per year because of the claims file complexity.
