Do you have a palliative care program? Are you considering starting one?

Palliative care is part of the CMS Medicare Advantage VBID program. If your agency doesn’t have a program and is located within an area that serves a participating MAO in the VBID program, this webinar series will benefit you. Part 1 will teach you all about the key strategic plan considerations before creating a program. Part 2 will dive into implementation.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
  • Understand regulations, licensing, credentialing, and accreditation for a community-based palliative care program
  • Recognize the importance of the National Consensus Project (NCP) Clinical Practice Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care
  • Determine the need for a community-based palliative care program and discuss the critical components of developing a business case
  • Identify palliative care reimbursement opportunities

WEBINAR DETAILS

Part 1 of this two-part series will address the key strategic plan considerations before implementing a community-based palliative care program. It will review regulations, licensing, the importance of credentialing, and the benefits of accreditation. It will also outline the critical elements of creating a business case for your strategic plan. 

You’ll learn about the avenues for offering palliative care, the required team, reimbursement, contracting, and how to complete a needs assessment. Both operational and clinical considerations will be included to assist with determining costs and what is needed to plan for such a program.
