Testimonials

The HHFMA Mentorship program has provided me with a great professional relationship with someone outside of my own organization. My mentor has been a great sounding board and someone I can reach out to as for insight and guidance related to professional development, speaking opportunities, educational resources and especially career aspirations. We often work together to discuss both financial and regulatory changes that will impact the home health and/or hospice industries. I cannot stress enough the value I have received being in the HHFMA Mentorship program and plan to become a mentor myself.

One of the most significant benefits of joining a professional organization, like NAHC, is the opportunity it provides to either be a mentor or to find one. As a previous “mentoree,” I am a huge advocate for the NAHC Mentorship program. I was blessed to gain Carolyn Fleistra as a mentor. Carolyn offered me the ability to learn the industry and association from someone who had worked in the industry at the executive level for years and someone who had been involved in the organization at a high level. She shared her experiences, shared tips, ensured I knew where to be, and above all, gave me a sense of belonging. I highly encourage anyone to seek mentorship

When I first became a homecare executive, my predecessor and first home health & hospice mentor advised me to join HHFMA. “And never miss the Finance conference!” It was fantastic advice. The HHFMA has been a great source of current information over my career, and its mentoring program was a terrific additional benefit. I was fortunate to be assigned a wonderful mentor, Marcylle Combs. She answered my questions, introduced me to others, and helped me navigate all the resources available to members through NAHC and the HHFMA. I’ve also really enjoyed mentoring others over the years. If you are new to the HHFMA, a mentor can help you optimize your membership. If you are experienced, serving as a mentor is a wonderful way to give back to the homecare and hospice community.
Carolyn Flietstra BSN RN, Executive Vice President (Retired), Christian Living Services
Through the HHFMA Mentorship program I have had several formal and informal conversations with my assigned mentor. This has provided the opportunity to evaluate and achieve my career goals within the industry – like being appointed to the HHFMA Workgroup. The knowledge I have gained since joining the industry has been extensive and the HHFMA Mentorship program has played a major role in my career development. I will continue to contribute to the success of this initiative, including becoming a mentor myself.

Home Care Industry Update

Thursday, December 15, 2022 | 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT

Please join Polsinelli, The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC), and the Home Care Association of America (HCAOA) for a legal update tailored for the Home-Based Care Industry (home health, home care, and hospice providers). We will provide a substantive overview of the latest federal legislative and regulatory developments impacting our industry, including the anticipated impact of the recent mid-term election results, upcoming changes to federal joint employment standards and a review of recent caselaw concerning joint employment, and an analysis on the Proposed Independent Contractor Rule announced by the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”). We will also summarize the status of industry-specific state law changes including caregiver pay increases in New York, the proposed New Jersey Domestic Worker Bill of Rights law, and Ohio’s new regulations for home-health and home care agencies.

In addition, Polsinelli will cover the two key federal laws that regulate the financial relationships between agencies and their referral sources: the Anti-Kickback Statute and the Stark Law. After a refresher on the scope and applicability of these laws and state law equivalents, we will provide guidance on how to structure relationships with referring physicians, compensate sales and marketing personnel, and interact with hospital discharge planners, among other topics. This review will be important for all home-based care providers, not just those participating in Medicare and Medicaid.
