When you’re researching topics that are new to you, MedicareFind puts a lot of information in front of you. As many of you may be familiar, you can then use our filters, sorting, thesaurus, and other features to access the particular information that is useful to you. But what I’d like to highlight here are a couple ways you can enhance your knowledge of a topic without even opening a document.
Let’s take billing for observation services as an example, where we might find this results page. There are a little over 1,100 results here, and we can narrow in on information by using the filters and other refinements. But in addition to this narrowing function, the filters themselves are a great source of information for us if we’re trying to get a handle on a topic — they tell us when and where information about this topic is coming from, and what sort of information it is.
