MASTER THE PPS FINAL RULE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE

Published on Mon Aug 13, 2007

Register for these audioconferences on PPS therapy, diagnosis coding and billing.

You have about three months to prepare for the massive changes CMS has made to the prospective payment system, and your cash flow depends on knowing what is new.

On Aug. 22, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued its final rule on home health PPS refinements--and it brings the most significant changes to the prospective payment system since its implementation in October 2000. You can’t afford to miss this opportunity to prepare to meet the challenge.
