BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Feb. 13, 2019)—HomeCare Magazine, the leading business magazine for home medical equipment and home health professionals, is pleased to announce a free webinar presented in partnership with PointClickCare.

The live, online event, “Sustaining Financial Health Under PDGM: A Provider Comparison,” will take place Wednesday, March 27, 2019, at 2 p.m. EST. Registration is free at homecaremag.com.

The webinar will address how two very different home health providers will experience PDGM and provide insights to help agencies prepare now for success later.

The new Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) coming in 2020 is expected to significantly impact virtually all aspects of home health payment methodology.

From small, not for profit agencies to large chains, significant operational and organizational reforms must be undertaken in 2019 to successfully transition to PDGM. An estimated 44 percent of home health providers will experience a decrease in reimbursement.

The live event will be presented by Ron Barerra, director of financial consulting at Simione Healthcare Consultants, and Liza Markling, product manager at PointClickCare Home Care. Barerra has 23 years of progressive homecare and hospice experience and manages the Southeast Atlantic Division of Simione Healthcare Consultants. Markling has more than 10 years of experience in product innovation, technology and operational roles, and 5 years of experience in healthcare IT.

The 1-hour, live webinar event includes a presentation by Barerra and Markling, followed by a question-and-answer session.
