How much can coding order affect a home health case?

Put your PDGM, coding and OASIS knowledge to the test with this patient scenario. Review the clinical information, calculate the proposed CY 2027 functional score and compare two possible coding options.

Then join us for AHCC Talk on August 24 at 1:00 p.m. EDT, when we’ll reveal the answers and discuss how the coding decisions affect the clinical group, functional level, case-mix weight and reimbursement.

Review the scenario, make your calculations and come prepared to compare your answer with our experts.

The scenario, coding options and calculation exercise are based on the supplied AHCC Talk document, including the proposed $2,092.27 standardized rate and CY 2027 functional thresholds.
