Rhonda Will, RN, BS, BCHH-C, COS-C
Friday, April 17 | 12:00-1:00 PM CT

The 2015 HHPPS Final Rule eliminated the physician’s Face To Face (F2F) Encounter narrative for home health episodes beginning on or after January 1, 2015.  This was celebrated as great news for the home health industry, but do you fully understand the documentation CMS now expects?
 
Join nurse and educator Rhonda Will, RN, BS, BCHH-C, COS-C for this important continuing education webinar session which will explore the changes in the F2F regulation and offer insights about what CMS has determined to be appropriate documentation from the physician, the acute/post-acute facility and the home health agency.
 
Attend and learn:

• Important details about the Medicare Home Health Benefit and the Face to Face Requirement
• How the new regulation 42 CFR 424.22(c) is changing the medical review process
• The 5 required elements to support appropriate physician certification documents

Don't miss this important webinar that will help you ensure that your agency's documentation is in compliance!
