Kathleen D. Schaum, MS
 Kathleen
is the president of her own consulting company, Kathleen
D. Schaum & Associates, Inc. In that capacity, she
brings more than 30 years of knowledge and experience
to her clients. She has spent the past 5 years consulting
with manufacturers and providers.
Kathleen has guided the reimbursement strategies for
more than 20 manufacturers, received Medicare billing
codes for more than 70 wound care products, and applied
and received 6 brand new HCPCS codes, categories, and
payment rates for all forms of collagen dressings.
Kathleen consults with numerous new and established
hospital outpatient wound care departments, physicians,
podiatrists, nurse practitioners, wound care nurses,
and physical therapists regarding the "business
side of wound management".
Kathleen continually monitors reimbursement legislation
and regulations, and attends many reimbursement meetings
and seminars, in order to maintain her own knowledge
regarding this ever-changing topic. She then assimilates
that knowledge for her various clients and audiences.
Kathleen speaks on the topic of reimbursement at numerous
national, regional, and local symposiums and seminars.
In addition, Kathleen is celebrating her 7th anniversary
of authoring a regular Payment Strategies column
in Advanced in Skin and Wound Care. Including
guest writing for Ostomy Wound Management, Home Health
Care Nurse, and the Remington Report, Kathleen's
reimbursement publications have exceeded the 100 mark!
Kathleen enjoys helping manufacturers and providers
improve their business. She says that learning about
and understanding skin and wound care reimbursement
would be quite boring if it weren't for the people
she assists with their practices and projects.
Kathleen has worked very hard to make this post-conference
a meaningful and useful expenditure of your time. Let's
welcome Kathleen to present this:
- Pre-conference entitled: The "Business"
of Wound Care for Nurses
OR
- Post-conference entitled: The "Business"
