2020 Home Health Updates

The 2020 Home Health Final Rule contains a variety of crucial updates and changes. You’ll have a whole host of new compliance and payment challenges, particularly with increased scrutiny by auditors and changes to ICD-10 diagnosis codes as well as payment for therapy services – not to mention the new Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM).
Delve into all these updates and more in this information-packed webinar by home health guru Beth Noyce. Learn the correct way to assign ICD-10 codes under the new PDGM and how certain behavior changes could draw the attention of auditors. Also, find out how to afford therapy services without payments tied to therapy.
After attending this in-depth educational session, you’ll walk away with a straightforward understanding of billing versus certification versus quality episodes. You’ll get specific case-mix data sources for payment and tools to calculate the payment for individual billing episodes. Additionally, you will know how the new PDGM will affect your agency financially.

Areas Covered:-

• Whether specific ICD-10 diagnosis codes are allowed under the new PDGM payment system;
• The differences between the PDGM model and the old payment model, the Prospective Payment System (PPS);
