Home Health & Hospice General Manager Welcome and State of the Industry: The unexpected year in Washington
Description

Join our General Managers for an update from WellSky followed by the State of the Industry discussion with NAHC's President Bill Dombi and WellSky's Chief Clinical Officer, Tim Ashe.

Bill Dombi and Tim Ashe will recap the unprecedented events of this year, plus an insightful forecast of what’s to come for home health and hospice care in the rest of 2020. PDGM, hospice carve-in, review choice demonstration, U-PAC, value-based purchasing, rural add-on, and CMPs were a big part of the expected landscape for home health and hospice in 2020. Then, the COVID-19 pandemic changed the world. Home care and hospice, like the rest of healthcare, was turned upside down. Suddenly, we were faced with radical changes in patient volume, case mix, reimbursement results, cost increases, and the endless search for PPE. CMS took emergency regulatory actions. Congress stepped in with nearly $3 TRILLION in business and employee supports, including a $175 billion emergency fund for healthcare providers and over $300 billion SBA loans for most businesses. Where is this all going? This session brings Congress, the White House, and federal agencies to the forefront with up-to-the-minute details on the legislative, regulatory, and legal landscape of home health and hospice today.
