Staying in compliance

11:10 AM 12:10 PM EDT

With the U.S. government’s aggressive oversight of home health practices, providers run the risk of severe consequences — criminal, civil, and financial — for violations. Implementing voluntary compliance programs significantly helps prevent fraud and abuse in such home health risk areas as medical necessity and homebound status, HIPAA, and referrals.

This panel will provide thought leadership and strategies from home health executives on practices that home health agencies and organizations can execute to stay in compliance and avoid those risks.

Audit-proof your home-health documentation

12:15 PM - 1:25 PM EDT

Can your home-health documentation withstand medical review scrutiny every time? Standards set by CMS to ensure reimbursement for services, along with care planning and labor/compensation issues can seem daunting, particularly with the prospect of a government audit always hovering.

This panel will offer guidance from home health executives on acquiring advance documentation for patient eligibility, effective documentation, and defending the record.
