The home health industry now faces its largest and most expansive payment system overhaul to date with new regulations poised to change the key indicators that drive Medicare reimbursement.

This presentation is designed to provide a full understanding of PDGM, its impact to home health best practices, and how your agency can embrace the shift towards this new reimbursement structure.
