Description:

The Patient Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) eliminated the volume of therapy visits from the home health reimbursement model. The value of therapy to the patient and the agency must be demonstrated to support care needed. This webinar will review the importance of and strategies for communication and collaboration in this new model. Under PDGM the primary diagnosis is paramount to assignment of the correct clinical group which is a large driver of reimbursement.
