“Attendees will learn the areas to focus their education, data (including OASIS and Coding) that they can use now to pinpoint potential issues, and strategies to use to focus their future strategic business and clinical direction. Managing a smooth PDGM transition is critical to the success of a home health agency, and can be the difference between thriving in the new model, or risking an agency’s sustainability.” - Kelly Murphy, Director of Coding Operations at Fazzi Associates, Inc.
“We already know from the data released by CMS that there are some agencies who will face financial loss with PDGM. Preparing now is key into avoiding or mitigating that loss and making sure your agency is prepared for all of the changes coming in 2020.” - Kelly Termine, Director of Quality, Fazzi Associates, Inc.
“PDGM is the largest change to Home Health Medicare reimbursement since the implementation of the Prospective Payment System. I have been involved with home health since the Medicare benefit was implemented, and have seen all the changes from cost based, to Limits, to PPS, and now PDGM. With Medicare being the primary payer for home health, it is imperative that agencies understand PDGM, how it will affect their operations, and to be fully prepared for PDGM on January 1, 2020. As many non-Medicare payers have adopted Medicare changes, agencies should also be aware that PDGM may eventually be used by other payers.” - Tom Keyer, Manager of Health Care, Mueller Prost
"The journey to PDGM implementation in 2020 is filled with opportunities to learn how to survive the most significant changes to home healthcare in decades, and actually thrive amid the changes. Finding the right partners with the right solutions is essential. These national summits provide the opportunity to understand the changes and equip providers with the resources, knowledge and insights that can improve patient outcomes and ensure compliance." -- Andrew Olowu, Chief Technology Officer, Axxess (Board Member, Home Care Technology Association of America)
“The PDGM National Summits is a can’t-miss event. Key industry leaders have come together to prepare home health agencies to be ready to embark on the changes related to the PDGM system. Given the critical nature of the changes under PDGM as well as the expertise of the panel of presenters, you should make plans to attend a session near you.” - Mike Dordick, President, McBee Associates
