PPS Drill Down: A Live Audio Conference Series
on Proposed Sweeping Changes

A 4-part audio conference series, June 2007

CMS’s proposed overhaul to the home health prospective payment system (PPS) touches all parts of your agency and effects every member of your staff. Get a handle on these far-reaching changes by signing up for one or more sessions of this four-part audio conference series.

We break it all down into manageable modules, so each week in June, you get up-to-the-minute, in-depth coverage of the most dramatic revision to PPS since PPS began seven years ago. Register for two or more audios and save: $250 for one session, $199 each when you sign up for two or more.

A single registration lets you gather your entire team around the speakerphone. And because these events are live and interactive, you get to pose questions directly to our expert presenters.

You can’t afford to miss a single installment of this live training event. Sign up today.

Coding

Week one
PPS Changes & Your ICD-9 Coding
Wednesday, June 6, 1:00 – 2:15 p.m. Eastern Time
Sweeping changes to the home health prospective payment system will have a huge impact on coding. From complex new sequencing to a major expansion of the case-mix diagnoses (153, to be exact), CMS has proposed a system that will turn coding on its ear! [More info…]

Billing

Week two
PPS Refinement for CFOs & Billers
Thursday, June 14, 2007, 1:00-2:30 p.m.

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. [More info…]

OASIS

Week three:
PPS Changes Redefine OASIS Payment Questions
Tuesday, June 19, 2007, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time

Under the PPS changes, CMS plans to redefine the OASIS questions that determine your episodic payments as soon as January 2008. Inaccurate OASIS scoring can reduce Medicare reimbursement, distort outcome reporting and jeopardize the financial health of your agency. [More info…]

Non-Routine Supplies

Week four:
PPS Changes & Non-Routine Supplies
Tuesday, June 26, 2007, 1:00-2:30 p.m. Eastern Time

The CMS-proposed refinements to the Home Health PPS include a major change in payment for medical supplies. As with all other aspects of the Proposed Rule, your supply revenue will depend on clinician OASIS accuracy. Learn how to cope with the bottom-line effects of the proposed rule as it relates to your supply payment. [More info…]
