From the supplier: Risk managers (RMs) at many health facilities provide professional insurance coverage to doctors who are not on staff, because the RMs believe such relationships will increase admissions. These channeling programs can boost the number of patients treated at a given hospital, but a key risk to consider is whether the increased revenue generated by channeling outweighs the increased insurance costs. Another factor that must be considered is the potential for fraud and abuse. Hospitals should get legal advice before adopting a channeling program.
