2014 Palmetto GBA Home Health Workshop – Navigating the Medicare Maze

Palmetto GBA is pleased to announce our 2014 Home Health workshop series, ‘Navigating the Medicare Maze’. The maze of requests for claims and documentation information is a daily challenge for all Medicare providers. There are numerous contractors who can review claims and a myriad of ever-evolving Medicare regulations to which Providers are required to adhere. In addition, providers can become overwhelmed with the different types of errors identified during the review process. These workshops are designed for home health providers and their staff to equip them with the tools they need to successfully navigate the Medicare billing, coverage and documentation requirements.

These workshops will provide insight for new, intermediate or advanced staff; however, we suggest that providers who are new to Medicare or have new staff attend online learning courses for beginners at hhh. Basic billing and other online educational resources can be found in the Self-Paced Learning section under the Learning and Education link on the left navigation. During the workshop series, Palmetto GBA will assist providers with becoming familiar with the processes for addressing the various components of the benefit integrity process. Palmetto GBA’s ultimate goal is to have educated and astute providers who know how to accurately and skillfully navigate the Medicare Maze!
