Program Description: Home Health rehab reforms have
modified many therapy requirements including elimination of the 10-visit threshold, objective testing, and
ongoing re-assessment re]inement to name a few. Auditors have focused on the rehab elements of patient claims
as they produce denials for unskilled or unnecessary care delivery. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) bundling model
will focus on the rehab content in homecare programs as they seek greater efficiency under decreased utilization
to achieve cost reduction goals.
Therapy ST/LT goal production, skilled per visit documentation, patient compliance,
caregiver involvement, and discharge planning and management are all addressed by a PPS-compliant, objective test-based
therapy evaluation. Clinical case examples will outline the good and bad in current therapy documentation, with strategies
to manage successful therapy programs. Start today on rewiring your rehab concession to assure a skilled, audit-proof therapy program. Presentation Date: 08.12.2015
