Program Description: There are nearly 20 million veterans in the United States and 30% of those veterans have multiple
chronic conditions that may be managed by private duty care. Most veterans and private duty organizations are unaware of the multiple funding sources available to
pay for veterans care. Educating your team on the variety of benefits available to veterans for post-acute care (private duty, home health, and hospice care)
will ensure that your organization is ready to grow your referral sources while providing a niche market to those that have served our country so well. In this presentation
Tammy Ross will speak with retired Air Force Col. Terry Ross about where home care organizations and veterans can find the funding needed to cover care in the home
and will discuss practical considerations for caring for veterans.

§558.260[a][7]financial management
Program Description: There are significant changes that are going to occur in 2021 and 2022 with the Phasing out of the RAP and
the introduction of the Notice of Admission. RAPs will have NO associated reimbursement in 2021, but will carry a monetary penalty if not filed timely. The Notice of Admission
completely eliminates that RAP and carries a penalty that could erase all payments for the entire time you have cared for the patient! Preparation is KEY!
Program Learning Objective(s): Participants will actively engage in the activity and will indicate an intent to change their practice
by identifying the 2021 RAP requirements, including timeliness parameters, the 2022 Notice of Admission and the impact of PreClaim Review of the Review Choice Demonstration.

Program Description: This presentation highlights how home health agencies can better leverage their in-demand wound care specialist(s)
with telehealth technology. Productivity is maximized as one wound care specialist can provide guidance virtually to all caregivers in the field. This is especially important in
rural areas where nurses and specialists can spend a lot of time driving instead of being able to see and treat patients. Moreover, connecting a home health nurse with a wound
certified nurse is beneficial in bridging the gap between training, clinician and patient education, and wound assessment. You will learn how agencies can enable a
better, safer, and more profitable way to evaluate and support proper wound healing.

Program Description: Have you ever thought about partnering with MCOs but then dismissed it thinking it’s not a win-win situation?

invaluable advice on opportunities that are available to agencies with health plans. Not only will you learn what Value Based Purchasing (VBP) is and what the MCOs
expectations by state are, but this session will also bring to life the reality that an agency experienced while they developed successful relationships with these health

practice by stating what VBP is and identifying what steps agency should take to building a successful MCO relationship.
