As discussion of new provider moratoriums continues, agency purchases are on the rise.

Owning a hospice, home health, or home care agency is not as “easy as it looks.” This webinar will provide a crash course on the essentials that every new agency owner needs to know.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
  • Understand which regulations govern your agency
  • Define key issues related to increased government oversight
  • Identify and assess potential risks using provided tools
  • Recognize the impact of quality on reimbursement

WEBINAR DETAILS

There are many considerations when purchasing an agency. New owners must understand licensure, Medicare, Medicaid, Conditions of Participation, fraud, compliance, payment model changes, and other important operational issues. Completing due diligence is critical as is understanding how the agency operates - especially in states with enhanced oversight like California, Texas, Nevada, and Arizona.

Do you understand the type of services that are needed, where they will be provided, and by whom? Do the regulations mandate what type of professionals to employ? What are the agency’s star ratings? How does quality and reporting impact reimbursement? Has the agency undergone recent oversight with TPE or post-payment medical review? What potential risks may be involved (e.g., turnover, HR, education, and training issues)? What is your transition plan for identified risk areas? This webinar will help answer those questions and cover the key regulatory, licensing, payment, oversight, and compliance issues that all agencies are facing. This is a must-attend webinar for new owners or anyone contemplating purchasing an agency.

  • Hospice
