HCSSA Topic(s) Addressed: §558.259[d][4]agency responsibilities §558.260[a][3]basic principles of management in a licensed health-related setting §558.260[a][5]quality improvement §558.260[a][7]financial management Faculty: Melinda Gaboury Program Description: With Home Health Value Based Purchasing (HHVBP) going strong in the 9 demonstration states it is a forgone conclusion that HHVBP will become a nationwide reality. The core goal of HHVBP is to reach the best practical patient outcome. HHVBP measures focus on clinical outcomes as central components of a performance measurement system. For many years, HHAs have worked to achieve improved patient outcomes, but there was no direct connection to payment. With HHVBP, clinical success for payments can translate to higher Medicare reimbursement. This program is designed to explore the clinical practices that make a difference in HHVBP scoring. When clinical practices work for patients, HHVBP makes them work for a HHAs bottom-line as well. This session will: Identify areas most susceptible to patient outcome improvement Recognize best practices in clinical operations that impact HHVBP scores Identify practical steps towards successful implementation of HHVBP best practices Presentation Date: 08.10.2017 Learning Outcomes(s): Participants will actively engage in the learning activity and indicate an intent to change or enhance their practice by recognizing best practices in clinical operations that impact client outcomes and home health Value-Based Purchasing scores.

Contracting with MCOs: Benefit vs. Pitfalls

[2974] Contracting with MCOs: Benefit vs, Pitfalls Education-Training Credits: 1.0 Hr(s) HCSSA Administrator/Alternate Summary:The pros and cons of working with MCOs in and out of network. HCSSA Topic(s) Addressed: §558.259[d][4]agency responsibilities §558.260[a][3]basic principles of management in a licensed health-related setting §558.260[a][7]financial management Faculty:Spears, Jan Program Description: This program presents the pros and cons of working with MCOs in and out of network. As traditional payor sources implement payment reductions, new payment models or move exclusively to Managed Care, home health agencies are once again looking at the best way to work within the Managed Care arena. Some MCOs can pick and choose their provider networks based upon geographical area, STARs reporting, and pricing models. Medicaid MCOs typically offer below market value contracts. Although the MCO must follow the home health rules, the payer can establish additional requirements such as prior authorization, timeframes for physician signatures, etc. that can be more stringent than the traditional counterpart. The avenues for appeals are cumbersome and often leave the provider “holding the bag.” Learn how to package your agency for quality, cost and satisfaction in advance of seeking contracts with the MCOs in your area. Delivering care in accordance with MCO requirements requires process modifcation for order development, authorization management and billing. In addition, the presenter touches on best practice processes to improve coverage and reduce days outstanding on your claims. Presentation Date: 11.15.2016 Learning Outcomes(s): Participants will actively engage in the activity and indicate an intent to change or enhance their practice by delivering care in accordance with Managed Care Organization (MCO) requirements while incorporating best documentation practices in order to ensure coverage and reduce days outstanding on agency claims.
