Description
Join an exceptional group of speakers who will break down critical aspects of Medicare Advantage (MA), including its impact on agencies like yours. MA is a sea change for our industry. There has not been a more significant financial change since PPS. This pre-conference addresses a diverse group of stakeholders who now must consider and understand MA from multiple angles. There is something here for everyone; you will hear directly from a leading payer.
Home care providers are struggling with the impacts of the shift in the Medicare-eligible population to MA Plans. Forward-looking providers are asking essential 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 mainly Managed Care?
- Will providers have a future where MA Plans also offer home-based services and products?
In this Medicare Advantage pre-conference, we will hear payer and provider perspectives addressing these questions and more.
There is an additional fee to register for this session. Breakfast and lunch are included.
