Managing Cash, Compliance and Effectiveness in the Revenue Cycle is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Do you feel as though new rules and payment changes are threatening your cash flow and revenue cycle? There’s a good reason since it’s becoming harder to manage cash flow while complying with regulations. In 2015, CMS implemented two key initiatives that affect home health — the Program for Evaluating Payment Patterns Electronic Report (PEPPER) and a “probe and educate initiative” related to face-to-face encounter requirements — both of which have led to millions in denied claims for home health. And hospice providers are not off the hook because this year CMS introduced substantial changes to the Medicare hospice payment with more to come. Other challenges relate to managing software systems and staff involved in the revenue cycle. Learn how to meet them with help from this session and make your revenue cycle run smoothly.
