Audio-Conference Description
Preferred Provider Agreements now seem essential for all types of home care providers; including home health agencies, hospices, HME companies and private duty agencies; in order to establish and/or strengthen relationships with referral sources.  The “window” for these Agreements is open wider than ever, but is likely to narrow or close soon so now is the time!  What do various types of referral sources, including hospitals, SNFs, ALFs/ILFs and physicians want from their preferred partners?  Why should hospices be especially interested in relationships with SNFs?  What are key provisions to include in Preferred Provider Agreements?  Another important issue is how to “square” Preferred Provider Agreements with patients’ right to freedom of choice.  Attend this session to learn in detail how to have effective preferred provider relationships and comply with freedom of choice requirements.  Get your questions answered in a Q & A session at the end of the teleconference.  Get started now with information from this teleconference!
