Description:
PHA members are invited to participate in a free conference call to discuss the fiscal year (FY) 2017 Home Health Prospective Payment System final rule. Diane Link, RN, MHA, Senior Clinical Consultant Manager for BlackTree Healthcare Consulting, will discuss the ins and outs of this rule, which implements major changes for the payment of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) beginning in January and also calls for the collection of four new quality measures beginning in April 2017: Total Medicare Spending per Beneficiary, Drug Regimen Review Conducted with Follow-Up for Identified Issues, Discharge to Community and Potentially Preventable 30-Day Post-Discharge Readmissions.

During the call, members will learn more details on how to bill for NPWT services and how to maximize scoring under the latest quality measures.

The call will include a Q&A session. A PowerPoint presentation will be forwarded in advance of the call.

The credit may go toward any session, event or product to be used within a one-year period from the date of cancellation. The amount of the credit will be minus 25% of the cost of the original purchase price. No credit will be given for no-shows or for cancellations within three weeks of the session.
