Published on Fri Dec 17, 2021
If you missed the big joint HHH MAC education session in September, you’re in luck — you can now view some of its 21 sessions online. The virtual 2021 Home Health & Hospice Medicare Summit, dubbed “Operation Collaboration” by Palmetto GBA, National Government Services, and CGS, was attended by 6,400 providers over three days, the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization reports. The summit was “a huge success” with attendees from every state, notes the National Association for Home Care & Hospice. See 11 sessions posted by NGS at www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw4-yeXdND_qoFHsWoYFFYfMeCufggl1E. Palmetto and CGS have posted their MAC-specific session on their websites, NAHC adds.
