Reporting of Perceived Bias
Bias, as defined by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC COA/LSNA) is the “tendency or inclination to cause partiality, favoritism, or influence.”
Commercial bias may occur when a CNE activity promotes one or more product(s) (drugs, devices, services, software, hardware, etc.). This definition is not all inclusive and participants may use
their own interpretation in deciding if a presentation is biased. The ANCC COA is interested in the opinions and perceptions of participants at approved CNE activities, especially in the presence

education activity. The toll free number is 1(866) 262-9730.

How to manage day-to-day issues while working your compliance program.
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Event 54th Annual Meeting | Rich-Media Presentation Capture | Online On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | August 31, 2023
Program Description: Administrator’s and Clinical Supervisors never have "enough time". Compliance tends to get pushed to the back burner because it’s
seen as additional work that can be done when all the fires have been put out, until compliance becomes the bonfire we can’t ignore. In this presentation, there is a discussion of the day-to-day issues facing
home-based care agencies, and managing those issues while working your compliance program. Also discussed is how to document efficiently so that completing your compliance is just a matter of running
a report from your EMR. We can’t eliminate emergencies, but we can restructure to stop duplicating work and allow you and your team the one thing more important than coffee; TIME!

Learn how other agencies are having success by being proactive with their patients’ payments for services.
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Event 54th Annual Meeting | Rich-Media Presentation Capture | Online On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | August 30, 2023
Program Description: Now that home health agencies are having more and more non-Traditional
Medicare patients and private insurance patients, it is most imperative for agencies to turn to technology when performing intake and
insurance verification and prior authorizations for patients. Learn how to proactively, with technology, collect all of the intake
paperwork from the patient, financially counsel the patient and their family, collect necessary copays and deductibles, and much more before the nurse makes her
visit. At the time of the visit, clinicians should only be concerned with patient care not reimbursement from the patient.
In this presentation Petria will demonstrate to you how other agencies are having success by being proactive with their patients’ payments for services.

How VBID compnents affect your hospice and revenue collections.
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Event 54th Annual Meeting | Rich-Media Presentation Capture | Online On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | August 31, 2023
Program Description: In its fifth year of testing, the hospice component of Medicare’s Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID)
continues to grow and evolve. In fact, the number of Medicare Advantage organizations participating in the VBID model increased by more than 35% and were expected
to provide coverage for more than 9.3 million Medicare beneficiaries in 2023. While those numbers are still out, what we do know is that if your hospice organization
has not been affected by this shift in payment for hospice services, it will be in the very near future.
In this session, Zaundra Ellis discusses components of the hospice VBID model, how they affect the care your hospice organization provides,
and how collecting your hard-earned revenue is different when working with a Medicare Advantage organization.

Go beyond the LCDs and common tools for documenting eligibility by drilling down to the details and characteristics that differentiate terminal and chronic patients with the same diagnosis.
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Event Administrator Conference | Rich-Media Presentation Capture | Online On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | November 8, 2023
Program Description: Accurate hospice eligibility documentation is critical to fulfilling the CoPs and payment requirements.
The lack of supporting documentation for a terminal prognosis is the number one reason for denial. Reviewers often look for a significant decline in patient condition.
Although this is not a requirement of hospice care, terminal prognosis is. This program helps clinicians document the slightest changes in baseline measures.
More importantly, you'll learn how to capture in documentation the occurring changes that support terminal prognosis – even without a decline in baseline measures.
Go beyond the LCDs and common tools for documenting eligibility by drilling down to the details and characteristics that differentiate terminal and chronic patients with the same diagnosis.
