February Illinois Continuity of Care Meeting

Home Care in Buffalo Grove IL

The February Illinois Continuity of Care Meeting was extremely interesting.  Speaker Peter Miska Of Phoenix Home Health, gave us the final rules for Home Health and DME.

In this volatile climate of health care, Medicare is now ranking how every home health is performing. The home health agencies that don’t fall into a higher percentile, probably will have to review the performance of their business or whether or not it is feasible to continue.

ACOs (Accountable Care Organizations) are trying to minimize costs and still provide high quality care. As the silver tsunami approaches, it will be interesting to see how all this will play out, how much government will pay for, and will the baby boomers be able to afford what the previous generation did.  Turn the page for the next chapter!!
