Getting it Right: Improved Intake Under PDGM is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
There are so many factors to consider when taking on a new patient. And the prospect of PDGM has only heightened the burden! From intake information, coding, MD certification, face to face documentation…all of the parts and pieces have to mesh in order to have a proper referral and admission. If one, or more, of the parts are missing or are incorrect, agencies set themselves up for complaints, denials, ADRs and a host of other things we’d all rather avoid. By understanding the factors and documentation necessary for a proper referral and admission, agencies can better manage their patients and revenue flow from intake through discharge.
Learning Outcomes:
- Identify the components of the home health eligibility criteria and required physician documentation.
- Cite Medicare compliant Face to Face documentation.
- Explain what information is needed at intake and the importance of coding under PDGM.
