Follow Up Guidelines

Out of Plan OOP

• Orange OOP on Tracking Board indicates out of plan insurance. Patient should be referred back to their health plan and PCP. Info on health plan and PCP found on Patient Summary (Discharge Instructions), Demographics and Utilization Review tabs.

NERF (New Empanelment Referral Form)

• Used to enroll patients with significant PMH who have no primary care or health plan
• Patient must have at least one of the following diagnoses (see attached list)
• Only about 1/3 of patients will actually receive a PCP through the NERF process. Because of that, give patient a clinic list upon discharge so he/she can find a PMD on their own.
• To enroll in NERF program, click NERF while completing Depart process. Check off diagnoses that apply. Click green arrow. Clerk will complete on-line NERF form.

CCC (Continuing Care Clinic)

• ED Followup Clinic used for complicated patients without primary care or an outside health plan
