Navigating VA Home Care Billing in a Time of Change | What Texas Providers Need to Know
[4024] Navigating VA Home Care Billing in a Time of Change | What Texas Providers Need to Know Combines policy context with operational insights and best practices providers can apply. Presentation Info: TAHC&H Event | Winter Conference | Rich-Media Presentation Capture | Online On-Demand Access Presentation Date: February 19, 2026 Program Description: Veterans Affairs (VA) home care remains a critical but complex revenue stream for home care providers. As contracting structures evolve and reimbursement dynamics shift, providers are facing increased operational strain, payment delays, and uncertainty around future program requirements. This program provides Texas home care providers with a practical, provider-focused overview of how VA home care billing works today, where breakdowns most commonly occur, and how upcoming changes, particularly related to Optum and TriWest contracting, rate table updates, and the Elizabeth Dole Act may impact service delivery and financial performance. It also addresses how recently released 2026 Texas VA rate tables influence reimbursement expectations, authorized hours, and agency margins, and why understanding rate methodology is increasingly important for operational and financial planning. Drawing on Paradigm’s direct experience supporting agencies nationwide with VA billing and revenue cycle operations, this presentation combines policy context with operational insights and best practices providers can apply. Also available: a valuable take-away with the Paradigm’s VA Rate Tool, which helps agencies quickly interpret VA rate tables, compare rates by service and geography, and proactively assess the financial impact of rate changes.

Improve 2026 Fiscal Margins through Improved Clinical Outcomes
[4006] Improve 2026 Fiscal Margins through Improved Clinical Outcomes
Provides a pathway to develop
Clinical programming that produces Improved Fiscal Margins.
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Event | Winter Conference | Rich-Media Presentation Capture | Online On-Demand Access
Presentation Date: February 18 , 2026
Program Description:
Home Health reforms continue in terms of programming and reimbursement changes as outlined in the 2026 Final Rule.
Providers seeking success will face new challenges when addressing HHCAHPS and VBP changes, with cuts in reimbursement occurring simultaneously.
The result is a Home Health landscape considerably different from what most of us have worked under during the PPS and early PDGM era.
When traditional operations and programming approaches fail to deliver desired outcomes under PDGM and in areas such as VBP and HHCAHPS,
many Providers find themselves behind the eight-ball in terms of episodic margins. But the Volume-2-Value (V2V) element of PDGM combines with
the Pay-for-Performance (P4P) identity of VBP to outline a clinical path to address Home Health Fiscal margins.
By addressing clinical programming for optimal Outcomes, HH agencies can develop Value-Era efficiencies that result in significant
improvements in Fiscal margins. This progressive presentation includes Case Studies that drill down on the pathway to develop
Clinical programming that produces Improved Fiscal Margins.
