Home Health & Hospice Week
Tune In For Info On Patient- Driven Groupings Model Pay Reform
Ask CMS your burning PDGM questions. Home health agencies may not have a lot of love for a PDGM educational session occurring near Valentine’s Day. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will hold a Feb. 12 call on the “Home Health Patient-Driven Groupings Model,” according to a new listing. The call will cover a PDGM overview and a “walkthrough of payment adjustments, including low utilization payment adjustments, partial payment adjustments, and outlier payments,” CMS says. Here’s your chance: The call also will include a question-and-answer session following the presentation. CMS will post a transcript and recording of the call about two weeks later. Links to registration and other background information are at www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Education/Outreach/NPC/National-Provider-Calls-and-Events-Items/2019-02-12-PDGM.html.
