Program Description

Medicare can feel like a maze — even for experienced home health professionals. For those new to home health, the rules, requirements and acronyms can be even more overwhelming. This practical, two-part bootcamp will break down the complexities of Medicare from the clinician’s perspective, helping participants build a clear understanding of the rules while learning how to apply them confidently in everyday practice.

Part One focuses on the clinical aspects of payment, including the Medicare home health benefit and requirements, the patient journey from intake to discharge, the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM), key Outcome Assessment and Information Set (OASIS) items and star ratings, and how clinicians impact Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP). Part Two addresses the clinical aspects of survey and quality, covering the survey process, patient rights and Medicare notices, survey preparation, emergency preparedness and infection control, and demonstrating excellence through the Home Health Quality Reporting Program (HHQRP) and Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI).

Whether you are brand new to home health or an experienced clinical leader looking for a refresher, attendees will leave with practical tools, resources and CMS guidance to help separate fact from common misconceptions and confidently navigate Medicare requirements.
