MHCA Family Grows
Liam James Lindell arrived June 26, weighing in at 6 lb, 11 oz. Brianna and Liam are doing well. Vickie Brand will be assisting me with the regulatory consultant questions during Brianna’s leave. Of course, the Proposed Rule came out the
day Liam was born!!
CMS Proposed Rule
Of course, CMS published the Proposed Rule the day Liam was born!! You will find further information in the Informer tomorrow.
One thing to note is that CMS has requested information on two topics. NAHC is particularly surprised that rather than changing the guidelines for therapists doing assessments, they have decided to study it further. Rumors are that there
is some push-back on allowing therapists to do these assessments and we want to ensure providers voices are heard!! In the Informer, I’ve asked for volunteers. If you know someone who’s a NAHC member and interested, let me know.
Other Updates
Tomorrow’s Informer is full of info, so don’t miss it. One note of particular importance, DHS just announced that EVV will be required September 1st.
Board Retreat Plans
Mary Kay Delvo is looking forward to joining us again for our strategic planning. She’ll be with us on the first day. On day two, we will finalize our priorities and have a regular board meeting. We are also expecting Senator Hoffman and
Representative Noor, as we will present them with Legislator Awards. Lauren is working on the logistics.
Please email Lauren if you are interested in a group dinner for Thursday night.
I’ll be online until early afternoon tomorrow. The staff is prepared and has great back-up support from Vickie Brand and Kristy!
