Home Health Revenue Cycle
11:00a – 12:40p
Speaker:
Melinda Gaboury, COS-C
As we continue a deep transition from the majority of patients being Traditional Medicare payers to being enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, Home Health Agencies must be effective at managing each and every patient episode from accurately confirming the payer to authorizations, caring for the patient and collecting payment. The Home Health Revenue Cycle begins at intake and each payer must be dealt with individually. In addition, the new CoP, Acceptance-to-Service Policy requires that agencies document the process of evaluating and accepting patients into their home health care. Another piece that directly impacts the Revenue Cycle. Join us to unpack the Home Health Revenue Cycle and all it has become from start to finish!
