SUMMARY:Who's Paying? Navigating Medicare\, MassHealth\, Managed Care\, MCOs\, MACs\, and the VA in Home Health
DESCRIPTION:Who's Paying? Navigating Medicare\, MassHealth\, Managed Care\, MCOs\, MACs\, and the VA in Home HealthOctober 20\, 1:00 pm - 2:00 pmMedicare is no longer the whole story. Home health agencies today must fluently navigate traditional Medicare\, Medicare Advantage\, MassHealth\, Managed Care contracts\, MAC jurisdictions\, and the VA   each with its own authorization requirements\, billing rules\, documentation standards\, and reimbursement structures. Treating them the same is one of the most expensive mistakes an agency can make. This session delivers a plain-language\, side-by-side breakdown of every major payer type\, what agencies must know to bill correctly across a mixed book of business\, and how to build internal processes that protect reimbursement   regardless of who's paying.Learning Objectives:Distinguish the billing\, authorization\, and documentation requirements across Medicare\, Mass\, Medicare Advantage/MCOs\, Managed Care\, MAC jurisdictions\, and the VAIdentify the most common payer-specific compliance and reimbursement pitfalls home health agencies faceApply a payer-mix analysis framework to assess and strengthen their agency's multi-payer reimbursement performanceDevelop internal workflows that adapt across payer types without sacrificing compliance or cash flowSpeaker:\nPetria McKelvey\, CEO/President\, Precision Medical BillingPetria McKelvey is CEO/President and Founder of Precision Medical Billing (PMB)\, a leading provider of customized medical billing and auditing solutions for home health and hospice agencies\, physicians\, Durable Medical Equipment (DME) providers\, Emergency Medical Services (EMS)\, and nursing homes across the U.S.With 25 years of experience in the medical billing industry\, Petria's expertise runs wide and deep.
