PDGM Training Series and Financial Analyzer
The Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) will dramatically
affect the way home health agencies are paid. It also will have a significant
impact on agencies’ operations, from intake through discharge. During this
session we will walk agencies through the significant home health changes under
PDGM and detail how agencies should adapt their intake process as a result.
This includes strategies for getting detailed documentation, questions intake
staff can ask to gather additional details necessary for accurate coding, and
best practices for increasing efficiencies within the intake department.
