Well, 2020 strikes again…flu season is officially here! Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported decreased influenza activity across the nation, limiting the spread of the flu during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is absolutely critical in order to protect vulnerable populations.

This fall, connect easily and safely with colleagues in your area from the comfort of your own home or office for your regional Certified District Connection virtual event. Connect with presenters and colleagues from your part of the state face-to-face through a live video platform and get up to speed and in-the-know about the 2021 Medicare Final Rule, the Review Choice Demonstration (RCD), federal and state policy updates, and the latest trends in home health. As the industry continues to navigate the challenges and uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM), the CY 2021 Home Health Prospective Payment System Rate Update will bring about even more policy changes, but ultimately grants a level of much-needed stability during a chaotic period. During this event, Healthcare Provider Solutions CEO Melinda Gaboury will examine what’s ahead and how to prepare for success with a focus on the Final Rule payment update, including changes to the Request for Anticipated Payment (RAP) process effective January 1, 2021. She will also share insights related to the RCD as Florida is currently in a 60-day phased-in approach to implementation, which means that Florida providers could quite possibly find themselves in the throes of mandatory full implementation at the time of these events. Don’t get caught off-guard! Come and learn the latest about the RCD to learn successful practices as well as the pitfalls to avoid as you implement RCD processes within your agency. Additionally, HCAF Executive Director Bobby Lolley and Director of Government Affairs and Communications Kyle Simon will provide timely legislative and regulatory updates and discuss evolving industry trends.
