Proper reimbursements and steady cash flow is important to all homecare agencies, but in the past three years -- and definitely in the immediate and near future -- both of these will be critical to the survival of all agencies. One of the first steps in assuring that your agency will be one that survives and even flourishes, is to know exactly who your patients are and where your patients are originating from. Just because a certain referral source is sending you lots of referrals, doesn't exactly mean that referral source is beneficial to your agency. Join Jennifer Warfield as she takes you through Home Health Edition's referral and census reports. Learn how to set up your software and to assure that you are getting maximum benefits!

Because a significant component of an agency's average case mix weight is based on accurate diagnosis coding, agencies should closely monitor these two reports. Use the Case Mix report to drill down to specific branches and even specific clinicians' errors that may be causing you to see a decrease in your case mix scores. And since case mix equates to reimbursement, it is imperative that agencies have a way to find the problem areas. In this webinar, join Jennifer Warfield as she explains how to maximize the use of these reports.

For some staff members in home care, coding changes are always mastered easily. But often, we see novices given the task of doing all of the coding for a home care agency without having any formal ICD-9 coding education. But, accurate coding is vital to the POC and correct reimbursement.

In this webinar, start at the beginning to lay out steps to assist in accurate coding, including:

- Using your coding manual
- Applying basic coding guidelines and conventions
