The most significant payment model change in over 20 years will move from concept to reality January 1, 2020. It may seem like there is plenty of time to prepare for impact but this model will remove the relationship between the number of therapy visits and reimbursement and causing additional anxiety for therapists working in home health. This session will break down the key components of the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) and provide strategies for therapists to articulate value beyond the visit.
