Daniel sees beyond a patient in need; he sees a person and really listens to understand how they perceive their medical problem. His special interest is in emergency medicine including utilization of bedside ultrasound and cardiac ultrasound to help him diagnose patient conditions.
Originally from southeastern Wisconsin, Daniel attended the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point for his bachelor’s degree in biology. It was during a human physiology class that he realized his interest in pursuing a career in the medical field. He attained his bachelor of science degree in Nursing at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire and completed the physician assistant program at Arcadia University on the East Coast.
The small, yet advanced facility and friendly staff at Glacial Ridge Health System appealed to Daniel; he joined the team of medical professionals in November 2017.
Daniel and his wife reside in the Twin Cities with their two young children. During his free time, he enjoys running and bicycling.
Beginning January 1, 2019, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are requiring hospitals and health systems to post their “current, standard charges.”
Hospital charges are the amount a hospital bills an insurer for a service. For most patients, hospitals are reimbursed at a level well below charges. Patients covered by commercial insurance products have negotiated rates with hospitals. Patients covered by Medicare or Medicaid programs have hospital reimbursement rates determined by federal and state governments.
Hospital charges may include bundled procedures, personnel, services and supplies. An example would be room rates that include the space, equipment, nursing personnel and supplies.
When a patient has the opportunity to shop for medical services, he or she should contact his or her own insurance carrier to understand which costs will be covered and which will be the patient’s responsibility.
Patients should contact the hospital directly for any further details.
