HHFMA/NAHC Webinar Series: Medicare Advantage: Tactics – Part 3

Tuesday, June 6 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EDT

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 

Home Care providers are struggling with the impacts of shifting the Medicare-eligible population into Medicare Advantage Managed Care plans (MA Plans). Forward-looking providers are asking important questions, such as: What are the implications of current demographic trends? What operational and financial issues should providers expect as their payer mix shifts to mostly Managed Care? Will providers have a future in a world where MA Plans also offer home-based services and products?

This webinar will offer the tactics you need to land a win-win MA partnership.

Speakers: 

1. Joe Calcutt, CFO, Liberty Home Care
2. Erin Masterson, Associate Principal, Consulting, Simitree
3. Angela Huff, Managing Consultant, FORVIS
4. Bart Bybee, Chief Financial Officer, Healing Hands Healthcare

Home Care Industry Update

Thursday, June 15 | 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET

‘
Register now for the Polsinelli, The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC), and 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 be discussing the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) recent proposed access to care rules which would, among other things, require at least 80% of all Medicaid payments (under both Fee For Service and Managed Care delivery systems) for HCBS services be used towards compensation for direct-care workers and the call to action for provider advocacy.

We will also get you up to speed on two new federal laws affecting pregnant women and new working mothers: Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers (PUMP) Act and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA). Panelists will also review lingering COVID-19 legal issues associated with the end of the federal public health emergency, including the status of CMS’s vaccine mandate, state vaccine mandates, and OSHA’s vaccine standard.

Finally, we will review recently passed and proposed state legislation including New York’s recently expanded protections for lactating employees, New York City’s brand new prohibition on height and weight discrimination, the proposed SWEAT bill (involving personal liens for allegations of wage theft), and proposed Connecticut legislation which would alter state oversight of home care agencies.

Providers who will be impacted by the CMS Medicaid Access Rules should contact Damon Terzaghi at dterzaghi@nahc.org to receive the survey and return no later than June 16.
