Are You Prepared for PDGM?

Live Webinar
Presented by Mike Tidd, LVN, HCS-D, COS-C
Tuesday August 13, 2019
10:00AM PST / 1:00PM EST

WEBINAR OVERVIEW:

The change from PPS to PDGM (Patient Driven Grouping Model) will be as significant of a change for home health as the change from IPS to PPS was. Many agencies will see a reduction in payment and need to understand what changes need to be completed in the agency structure so that they will be able to survive the switch to this new payment method.

Objectives:

• Verbalize the changes in PDGM from PPS
• Discuss the changes in coding practices that will be required to successfully survive under PDGM
• Understand the difference between unspecified and specific diagnosis codes
• Describe the differences between primary and supporting diagnosis codes and how they affect payment under PDGM
• Demonstrate the changes in resource utilization that will be necessary to maximize payment under PDGM.
