B4 – PDGM and HHVBP Update and Future Financial Impacts

Only months after the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) took effect, the entire world was turned upside down by COVID-19. Now that we may finally be emerging from the pandemic, home health agencies are focusing less on PPE and finding their footing again on PDGM. Just in time for Home Health Value Based Purchasing (HHVBP) to begin. So where are we and what’s ahead for PDGM and HHVBP? Nick Seabrook, Managing Principal at SimiTree and Erin Masterson, Associate Principal, will help us understand what the nearly two years of PDGM data has revealed, and where PDGM is headed with Home Health Value-Based Purchasing on the near horizon. During this session, Nick and Erin will review:
- Lessons Learned from PDGM so far and what they mean
- Data Trends from the first 2+ years of PDGM
- What’s next for PDGM, with an eye toward the release of the final payment rule in November
- Be knowledgeable in the measures and timelines that will impact their agencies under Home Health Value Based Purchasing

• Define best practices for optimizing cash flow through effective processes from Intake through the billing process.
