I agree with all of Katies responses. Thanks Katie!

 

As far as the NGS topics- one area that I could use some education is with home infusion therapy and specifically how it relates to Medicare certified home health agencies. Some drugs are covered under HIT and some are not.

 

And of course, it’s always helpful for NGS to discuss F2F, skilled services, and homebound.

 

I’m wondering if it would be helpful to tap into the Billers Listserv to ask them about ideas for NGS education??

 

 

 

Hi,

 

I have one additional item. The NGS POE group (provider outreach and education) has sent out a quick survey about agencies need for education for 2024.

Can you all please review and provide me with feedback no later than March 6^th? I will combine all the feedback and submit one survey for the group.

Hi,

 

Thank you all for a great meeting today! Below are a few questions I have for the group:

 

1. We will be doing some advocacy work with MMA and doc’s. What issues are you seeing with referrals? Anything outside of f2f and knowing if someone is actually homebound or not?
2. Anyone working with a community health worker?
3. There is a RFI out there on Medicare advantage plans. I have attached the questions CMS is looking for feedback on. Is there any interest from this group on responding to any of the questions they are asking?

 

 

 

Here are the events/education I spoke of on the call today:

• Day at the Capitol, next Wednesday
• March member meeting (safety exercise, part 1)
• Safety exercise, part 2
• New free monthly webinar (most of the webinars are with Melinda Gaboury/someone from her team)

This link above has the registration for the March event and at the bottom, is a list of the ones coming up. When you are filling out the form, there is an option to select the whole series vs individually signing up for each one. This is the series that has the GG items in April
