2019 Medicare Review Choice Demonstration Training

Home Health Agencies in Illinois will be subject to pre-claim review effective for episodes beginning June  1, 2019.  The pilot program will last 5 years. Agencies will receive a letter from PGBA with results from round 1 that ended in March 31, 2017 and must make an  irrevocable selection of options by May 16th, 2019.

CMS identified 54 agencies that closed as result of Pre-Claim and Medicare payments were reduced by $80M

Medicare Training and Consulting assisted providers successfully get through the process in 2016. Documentation is the key to getting claims paid and avoiding a 25% reduction in reimbursement.
