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.

Program Description: In July 2021, President Biden began rolling out COVID-19 vaccination mandates covering federal
employees and contractors and called on employers to implement their own mandates. Since that time, thousands of organizations around the country have taken
steps to require their employees to be vaccinated. On November 21, the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced new regulations requiring vaccination, and in the case of the OSHA rule, vaccination or mandatory
weekly testing. Notably, CMS’s vaccination mandate applies to 15 types of providers and suppliers, including home health and hospice agencies, and in total
covers more than 17 million health care workers and approximately 76,000 health care facilities. After extensive litigation, the OSHA rule has been enjoined
nationwide by the US Supreme Court, and all of the injunctions affecting the CMS rule have been terminated. What rules apply to your agency and what actions
should you be taking to come into compliance with state and federal laws?

VBID – Hospice 2024 Update

Details of the Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) Model – Hospice Benefit Component.
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Event | Winter Conference | Fort Worth | Rich-Media Presentation Capture for Your Online On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | February 22, 2024
Presentation Track | Medicare Hospice
Program Description: This program covers the details of the Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) Model – Hospice Benefit Component.
Medicare Advantage (MA) has long had coverage for home health patients, but there has never been coverage for Hospice under the MA benefit until 2021 when the VBID demonstration began to include Hospice.
There have been many changes to the Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAO) participating in 2024 as the demonstration has now been extended through 2030.
The differences in coverage for an in-network vs. out-of-network provider will be reviewed and the allowance of MAO plans to force patients to elect IN-NETWORK ONLY.
CMS requires that MAOs provide beneficiaries with broad access to the complete original Medicare hospice benefit. This program covers all known aspects of the demonstration and will
prepare hospices for the reality that Medicare Advantage is now in the Hospice world to stay.

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.

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.

Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Winter Conference 2022 | Dallas | Recorded for On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | February 24, 2022
Program Description: Information overload describes the excess of information available to a person aiming to complete a task
or make a decision; resulting in a poor decision or no decision being made. This often happens in the fast-paced world of home care operations. Leaders are inundated
from metrics from multiple sources that are often not actionable and not concurrent. This leads to no action and poor outcomes. Understanding the value of KPIs is the
first step to successful outcomes. Developing a business intelligence dashboard that contains the Metrics that Matter in the new world of Value Based Purchasing is the
next and most critical step. Metrics should be easy to understand and lead operators to implement corrective action concurrently. Thus, turning a possible negative
outcome into a positive one. Participants will walk away with an understanding of root cause analysis and multi contributing factors affecting metrics so that they can
apply rapid corrective action measures. This presentation is a must for those wishing to streamline their operations and achieve VBP financial success.
