Medicare 2011 Home Health PPS Final Rule

Changes are in store for Home Health PPS – Know the Final Rule for FY 2011.

Providers are facing rate cuts under the PPS changes as well as increased requirements for therapy documentation and physician certifications.  You will also have to implement processes to meet the new physician face-to-face requirements related to homebound or terminal illness certifications.

This final rule will contain the final version of the thirty-six month rule, which impacts the sale or transfer of home health agencies within 36 months after enrollment or a prior change of ownership.  It also implements the face-to-face requirements from the PPACA for both home health and hospice.

Join Robert W. Markette, Jr. as he explains the final rule’s requirements, how this will impact your operations, and how to prepare for the changes ahead.

Here's a look at what will be covered:

• Home Health PPS – here come the cuts again
• Physical Therapy Documentation – new requirements for documentation
