No-Pay RAP & Notice of Admission- How to be SuccessfulThursday, September 9, 2021
12:00 – 1:30pm MT
Member Pricing: $150
Non-Member Pricing: $225
Webinar Overview: The most significant change agencies have experienced with billing in 2021 is the timely submission requirement for the Request for Anticipated Payment (RAP) and associated penalty. The coming Notice of Admission (NOA) in 2022 is the next big issue. RAPs have no associated reimbursement in 2021 but carry a monetary penalty if not filed timely and the same will be true for the NOA. The NOA potentially carries a more significant penalty punch and agencies must be prepared. This session will review some of the key areas of concern with both and guide agencies to compliance.

Value Based Purchasing- Potential Nationwide Rollout12:00 – 1:30pm MT
Member Pricing: $150
Non-Member Pricing: $225
Webinar Overview: The Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) Model was a 5-year demonstration that ended in 2020. This demonstration was active in 9 states. CMS has announced that HHVBP will be implemented nationwide effective January 2022. There are some slight changes to the measures that will be utilized in the program moving forward. As a demonstration, HHVBP, was very effective at saving the Medicare system millions. This webinar will review the Home Health 2022 Proposed Rule regarding the HHVBP nationwide rollout and make suggestions for agencies to smoothly transition into this model. Statistics and experiences from the demonstration will be reviewed. HHVBP rewards HHAs that provide better quality care per outcomes, while agencies with poor outcomes could see reductions in payments. Objectives:
