Hospice Workshop – Wednesday, March 1, 1 pm – 5:30 pm
Home Health Workshop – Thursday, March 2, 8:30 am – 12:30 pm
On March 1 and 2, the Mississippi Hospital Association, in conjunction with the Mississippi Association for Home Care and Palmetto GBA, is hosting a Home Health & Hospice Medicare Workshop at the MHA Conference Center in Madison.
These workshops are designed for home health providers and their staff to equip them with the tools they need to be successful with Medicare billing, coverage and documentation requirements. These workshops will provide insight for home health agency staff at all levels; however, we suggest that providers who are new to Medicare or have new staff attend the online learning courses for beginners at www.PalmettoGBAcom/hhh. (Basic billing and other online educational resources can be found in the Self-Paced Learning section by selecting the Learning and Education link under the Browse Topics option at the top of the page.)
During the workshop series, Palmetto GBA will provide information related to the most common errors identified through a variety of data analysis and some hints and tips on the reasons why these errors occur. The learning objectives and topics are available here.
