Title: Golden Rules for Managing your Home Care Provider Population Risk

Description: Home care services have the potential to reduce overall healthcare industry costs while simultaneously providing comfortable care for the most vulnerable of Americans. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Studies, home care spending for health, residential and personal care services reached $150.4 billion in 2014, just five percent of the $3 trillion national healthcare budget. But with more seniors preferring home care as they age, that number will grow. With it comes a massive network of home care providers that payers will need to manage within a capitated payment or by demonstrating value based care. Home care fraud, waste and abuse is high, and in many states that have moved to a managed care model, home care providers have pushed back on new requirements of them. Payers will therefore need to get creative to manage the risk associated with providing home care services as a benefit to their Medicaid members.
In this webcast, you will take away:

• Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) legislation that is driving changes in home care
• The Golden Rules for provider adoption statewide
• Tips for increasing transparency and streamlining communication to improve quality outcomes
• Home care innovations to consider for procurements
• Home care performance metrics every payer should monitor

Title: Active Management: The Keys to Reducing Risk for Medicaid Payers

Description: The home care ecosystem is complex, and visibility into member care, accurate billing and more is difficult for Medicaid payers. Yet, the risk and vulnerability falls squarely on the shoulders of the payers. They are directly responsible for quality of care issues, claw back from plans, states or the federal government, loss of contracts, loss of members and more. This presentation will detail strategies for reducing risk for Medicaid payers by focusing on active management for better channels of visibility into their providers and members. This is much more than implementing an EVV solution, this is how to consistently and effectively communicate with key stakeholders in the home care ecosystem, to improve member care and drive efficiency improvements.
