Faculty: Spears, Jan

Program Description: Home care and hospice revenues are becoming more and more difficult to obtain and nearly impossible to keep in today’s atmosphere of non-traditional Medicare with the scrutiny of government contractors in post payment reviews. This Program explores several key components of a cash receipts plan that will help the agency improve its conversion of receivables to real “cash in bank.” Surrounding the agency with a robust and timely billing and collections process, while incorporating key compliance steps, will assist the agency in maintaining its cash in post payment audits. This program also offers processes that can be implemented to reduce the risk of denials, overpayments or suspension of payments. Measuring revenue cycle performance over time will prove the worth of developing a comprehensive revenue management program into home health or hospice operations. Presentation Date: 8.21.2014

  • Identify three typical threats to revenue cycle performance.
  • Recall two measures to improve the timely conversion of receivables to cash.
  • Identify three steps to incorporate clinical triggers into the revenue management plan.
