  The Good, Bad, and Ugly of 2027 Home Health and Hospice Rules

  Sep 1, 202633 min

  Home health and hospice just got a regulatory shake up, and the agencies that wait to react are the ones most likely to get burned. Mark Wilson and Annette Lee break down the 2027 home health proposed rule and the new hospice final rule through a practical lens: what changes, what matters, and what you need to do before the next audit lands on your desk. Annette Lee, founder and president of Provider Insights, brings decades of experience in patient care, Medicare Medical Review, appeals, and provider education. In this conversation, she cuts through the noise and explains where CMS is offering some unexpected upside, where reimbursement still falls short, and where the real danger is hiding in the fine print. You'll discover: - Why home health may finally see a slight payment increase, and what CMS is signaling about palliative care under the current benefit - The hidden "ugly" in the proposed rule, including far reaching program integrity provisions that could affect home health, hospice, SNFs, and more - Why affiliation rules, business relationships, and even long-past history could suddenly matter more than ever - What the hospice final rule now requires within five days of admission, and why that shift creates a major operational challenge - How the new SSVI measure, live discharge scrutiny, and outside spending are changing the way hospice agencies are judged

  The Hidden Risks In Home-Based Care Are Not Where Most Leaders Are Looking

  Aug 25, 202631 min

  From cyberattacks and wage-and-hour claims to auto exposure and the fine print in EPLI, Steve Parkhurst Heffernan Insurance breaks down the coverage gaps that can catch home health, hospice, and home care agencies off guard and what smart operators do before an incident forces the conversation. Mark Wilson and Steve Parkhurs dig into what it really takes to run a safer, stronger organization when employees are working independently in patients’ homes, not under a single roof. The discussion goes beyond “do we have insurance?” and into the more important question: what risks are you actually managing, and which ones are still sitting in the blind spot? You’ll discover: - Why lack of supervision in home-based care creates risk that office-based organizations never face - The top claims hitting providers right now, including cyber, wage and hour, EPLI, and auto - How documentation, login/logout records, and written processes can make or break a wage-and-hour defense - Why timing matters after an incident, and how waiting even 2-3 days can drive claims costs up fast - How insurers think about expansion, acquisitions, geography, and rising auto costs in a changing market Steve also shares practical guidance on when to involve your broker, how often to review coverage, and why risk management should be treated as an ongoing business strategy, not a once-a-year renewal chore. If you lead a home health, hospice, or home care agency, this episode will help you think less like a buyer of insurance and more like a builder of resilience. Essential listening for agency CEOs, operators, and administrators who want to protect their team, their patients, and the long-term health of the business.

  California Hospice Emergency Regulations #7: The Reporting Mistakes That Trigger Trouble With The State

  Aug 20, 202622 min

  Hospice leaders cannot afford to guess at California’s new reporting rules. The state is no longer waiting to be notified, and the consequences of missing a trigger event - from a move or leadership change to ownership transitions, licenses, and voluntary closure - can be serious. Mark Wilson is joined by Cindy Hatton, Annette Lee, and Sharon Fredericks, three nationally recognized hospice experts, to break down what changed, what now has to be reported in advance, and who inside your organization should actually own the process. If you are responsible for compliance, operations, quality, or leadership, this conversation gives you the practical roadmap you need before the webinar. You’ll discover: - Why CDPH is tightening oversight and why “we’ll tell them later” is no longer a safe strategy - The reporting changes that require advance notice, including the 120-day requirement for change of ownership - How to build accountability with a clear internal owner, backup coverage, and daily or weekly follow-up - Why license renewals should never be left to the last minute and why the state will not remind you - How exclusion list, OIG, Medicare, and licensure checks can be automated with monthly scrubs and flags - What to know about voluntary license cancellation, including the 60-day written notice requirement and what must be included - How multiple layers of oversight - CDPH, CMS, and accreditors - all have to be kept in the loop
