📢 Urgent Action Needed for Home Care Providers! There must be change in the 2025 legislative session! Virginia’s minimum wage has surged 71% since 2021, yet Medicaid personal care rates have only seen a 31.5% increase. This growing gap is unsustainable! As inflation drives up costs... ⚠ ⚠ Medicaid rates are now nearly 60% below where they should be, leaving our home care providers struggling to make ends meet. It's time to advocate for proper rate adjustments to ensure that those who care for our most vulnerable can continue to do so without financial strain. Let's push for rate equalization to reflect the true cost of living and care! Take action – its easy to do here and the impact is critical. 🏥💪 #HomeCareAdvocacy #FairWages #MedicaidReform #homecare #medicaid #homecareagency #homecareworkers

ATTN Home care leaders! Are you benefitting from GUIDE? Home care agencies are adapting in several key ways: 1.      Enhanced Care Coordination: The GUIDE Model encourages home health agencies to establish Dementia Care Programs (DCPs) that focus on continuous care management through an interdisciplinary approach. 2.      New Revenue Opportunities: Agencies participating in the GUIDE Model can access new Medicare reimbursements, which help expand services for dementia patients. This model also provides a pathway for private-pay home care providers to enter the Medicare market, allowing them to diversify their revenue streams. 3.      Support for Caregivers: The model offers services such as respite care, which relieves the burden on unpaid caregivers. Don't know what GUIDE is all about?

🛑 Stop denied claims and delayed reimbursements! CODING MATTERS! 🙂 The patient-driven groupings model (PDGM), complex ICD-10 coding and OASIS-E have all presented significant hurdles for home health and hospice agencies and affect how they get paid. Common medical coding errors and missing information can result in additional documentation requests (ADRs), rejected or denied claims and delayed reimbursement. Coding updates go into effect in LESS THAN ONE MONTH. Two-Day Virtual Coding Training                   9/17/24 - 9/18/24 Register: https://lnkd.in/gV7xcTdZ #PDGM #OASISE #MEDICAID #MEDICALCODING #HOMECARE #HOMEHEALTHCARE #HOMECAREAGENCY #VIRGINIA #WESTVIRGINIA
