101. PDGM: What Have We Learned After 18 Months? (Part 1) is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Description:
PDGM was implemented as the new Medicare HH prospective payment system in CY 2020. Assessing the trends and benchmarks of PDGM is an important step to determine how your agency is performing under this new program. COVID-19 definitely complicated the PDGM roll-out and tracking these changes is important. For CY 2021, CMS chose not to make any new payment adjustments due to behavioral changes. What does the data show regarding behavioral changes compared to CMS’s original estimations, and what will we likely see in PDGM changes for CY 2022.
Learning Objectives:
• Assess PDGM trends in the first 18 months under this new prospective payment system
• Describe how the pandemic COVID-19 is impacting the roll-out of PDGM
• Identify how Behavioral changes and the Proposed Rule for CY 2022 may impact your Home Health agencies
