202. Medicare Advantage VBID: Update on Medicare Advantage (MA) & Hospice Demonstration is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Description:
Hospice has historically been a traditional Medicare benefit ONLY. Participating Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAO) will have Hospice included in their benefit packages throughout the 4-year demonstration. It is expected that additional MAOs will be added to the demonstration as it progresses. Hospices need to understand key elements of working with MAO plans that are a part of the demonstration and this session will greatly assist. This session will take hospices through key elements of the MA Demonstration, including who is participating and how implementation has progressed.
Learning Objectives:
• Identify Key Elements of the Value-Based Insurance Design Model
• Outline Supplemental Benefits Available to patients in addition to Traditional Medicare Benefits
• Discuss the Phases of the VBID Model and the impact on out of network providers
• Detail billing requirements when caring for patients in the VBID Model
