Is a PAC Unified Payment System Picking Up Steam? 
Looking into CMS’ Crystal Ball: Tying GG Items, Quality Measures and VBP to a Future Goal of PAC Unified Payment

Description

A 2022 Report to Congress outlined a prototype Unified Post-Acute Care prospective payment system. This glimpse into the report will outline the importance of data accuracy for current and future state Quality Metrics, VBP, and payment as Home Health Care measures continue to be aligned with other post-acute care settings' measures. This session will outline plans for continued standardization of data elements such as OASIS GG Items, as well as management of Medicare spending per beneficiary - topics that have continued to make headlines since 2014's IMPACT Act became law.
