LaNita wants to help each individual achieve their highest level of function, independence, and quality of life through their rehabilitation program.
LaNita grew up in Brainerd, MN, and attended the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks to pursue a degree in physical therapy. She is certified in LSVT BIG, which helps those with Parkinson’s disease, and is also certified in Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Level 1 and Level 2A. She appreciates her supportive coworkers and the opportunities to pursue additional education that benefit her patients.
While in high school, LaNita was inspired to pursue a career in physical therapy. After having knee surgery, followed by physical therapy, she returned to playing sports and wanted to help others do the same. She officially joined the GRHS Therapy Services team in 2012. When LaNita is not at work, she loves going kayaking and fishing.
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.
