After the basic foundations, or "Nuts and Bolts" of home health comes the layers of application for documentation by field clinicians, such as survey preparedness, payment audits and the Payment Driven Groupings Model!  Presented by Annette Lee from Corridor, a former medical review nurse for the CMS Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC), she will create step by step learning to simplify these sometimes complicated areas with a checklist approach- and the "whys" behind the scenes.
