Solve These Home Health Problem Areas With Expert Audio Conference Advice!

2012 brings new challenges for home health agencies. The pace of the baby boomers becoming Medicare eligible will stay constant at about 9,000 people turning 65 each day. That means, there are more businesses and revenue opportunities for home health agencies. But, are you ready to capitalize on the opportunities? Is home health training and ensuring home health quality a challenge? Or, you have revenue challenges to meet?

Many home health agencies feel stress with additional reductions in reimbursement from Medicare and changes in the prospective payment system (PPS). When revenues dip and demand increases, efficient operations and cost containment, coupled with compliance issues are necessary to be addressed.
