What financial impact would
CMS’s PPS proposals
have on your agency? Finding the answer will require a detailed
understanding of each of the moving parts in the complex formula
CMS has devised to replace Medicare’s current payment formula.
It won’t be easy, but
speakers Fran
Smith and Mike Dordick of McBee Associates
will make the changes understandable as they walk you through
the key elements CMS has in mind. You’ll learn the full
details of:
- The new therapy thresholds and how to make the best of
them.
- Dollar effects of the 153 new HHRGs.
- How to calculate the severity-related payments for non-routine
supplies.
- Billing process changes that include no more SCICs, no more
M0175-related payment deductions and more money for certain
LUPA episodes.
You’ll have plenty of
time for questions. But most important, you can expect our
McBee team to advise you about proactive steps your agency
should take immediately in preparation for the changes.
