Register Today! Five Events You Shouldn’t Miss!

April 18th in Baton Rouge &  April 19th in Monroe
8:30 am – 4:30 pm

Presented by:  Jennifer Warfield of PPS Plus Software

CMS recently announced that the transition to ICD-10 is delayed until October 1, 2014. This announcement certainly throws a wrench in clinician education, but don’t worry – ICD-10 is still a large obstacle that agencies must prepare to tackle. Until then, claims must be filed using ICD-9 codes so agencies must make a concerted effort to stay on top of ICD-9 coding changes and rules.
Join Jennifer as she takes you through some of the most challenging ICD-9 coding scenarios and guides you through preparations for ICD-10 implementation. Attendees are welcome to bring along difficult coding scenarios to be addressed by Jennifer at the seminar. Additionally, take away valuable tips, strategies and techniques that will assist clinicians with coding, OASIS answers and documentation that will ensure financial and clinical accuracy.

Comprehending Home Health Care and Documenting to Secure Reimbursement

Two-a-Day Format
Choose the AM or PM session in Baton Rouge or Monroe June 5th and 6th
Presented by Pamela Warmack of Clinic Connections

This program will include instructions on how to document visits. Since MedPac reported to CMS that home
care makes only, “social visits with vitals”, it’s important that providers know how to document correctly.
This program is designed to enable home care clinicians to understand who is eligible for admission to homecare, what exactly Medicare will reimburse for these admissions and how to document the skill provided to capture reimbursement. This program is designed to help home care clinicians understand who may be admitted to home care and what Medicare will pay for and also help you understand how to document the skills so that you may be paid.
