ANNUAL CONTINUING EDUCATION
Continuing Education is perfect for a (1) designated Administrator or Alternate who must comply with TAC §558.260, and (2) a prior administrator or alternate not currently designated but maintaining compliance with TAC §558.260, and (3) anyone who wants to improve their knowledge on a broad range of topics specific to TX HCSSAs.

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.

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
of actual or perceived bias in continuing education. Therefore, ANCC invites participants to access their “ANCC Accreditation Feedback Line” to report any noted bias or conflict of interest in the
education activity. The toll free number is 1(866) 262-9730.
