Program Description

The "maze of Medicare" can be confusing even to those of us who have been in Home Health for decades—so imagine how overwhelming it must be for clinicians who are new to the field and suddenly immersed in a world filled with Medicare acronyms. This two-day boot camp is full of myth-busters, tools, and CMS-based guidance designed to empower both new and seasoned clinicians.

Learning Objectives

• Discuss the fundamental principles of Medicare and its role in home health care.
• Identify the eligibility criteria for Medicare home health services.
• Interpret and apply Medicare regulations and guidelines specific to home health care.
• Demonstrate proficiency in documenting and coding home health services according to Medicare requirements.
• Analyze the Medicare Conditions of Participation (CoPs) relevant to home health agencies.
• Develop strategies to ensure compliance with Medicare billing and reimbursement policies.
• Evaluate the impact of Medicare changes and updates on home health practice.
• Apply critical thinking skills to resolve Medicare-related challenges in home health settings.
