2019 Home Care Association of Florida Annual Conference Online Archive

Course overview

Today, the home care industry is undergoing unprecedented challenges and changes. Medicare providers will have a new payment methodology with the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) alongside the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing Model, as well as a new flow to their operations with revised Conditions of Participation and the forthcoming Review Choice Demonstration. These challenges are further compounded for Medicare providers with new clinical requirements under the second round of Targeted Probe and Educate, and emergency preparedness regulations.
