Medicare/Medicaid Impacts of the Budget Act of 2018 and the CMS 2019 Medicare Advantage Call Letter – Are you ready?
OVERVIEW
The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 was a major achievement in
settling overall budget issues, but it contained a large number of items
directly related to the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Major changes in
coverage, payment, and reimbursement processes were included in the bill. This
webinar will provide attendees with the items that were included in the bill
that will impact them, and what they should be expected to do to respond to
those changes. CMS has also issued their draft call letter for the 2019
Medicare Advantage program. This proposed set of changes will broaden the scope
of Medicare Advantage and provide additional opportunities to offer services to
Medicare Advantage members. These changes may not be well known to providers
and others but will have an impact on their operations. The webinar will
provide the details of these changes.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
The Medicare and Medicaid programs change each year, often
dramatically. Providers, vendors, and patients are often unaware of the
changes until long after they go into effect. This causes significant
disruptions in the delivery and payment of health services. By getting
information on these changes early, individuals and organizations can react to
the changes and prepare accordingly. This removes a considerable amount
of uncertainty in operations.
AREAS COVERED
The areas covered in the session will include the provisions of
the Budget Act directly related to the Medicare and Medicaid programs, the
impacts on health care organizations, provisions related to the expansion of
telehealth coverage, changes in the MIPS physician payment incentives, and
impacts on Accountable Care Organizations. The discussion regarding the
Medicare Advantage call letter will include the addition of supplemental
benefits, changes to payment rates, and the increased use of encounter data to
set rates.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Health care provider, vendor, and managed care plan attendees
will understand the impacts of the new budget bill and the Medicare Advantage
call letter on their organizations. Attendees will also understand what actions
will need to be taken as a result of those impacts. This will prepare attendees
for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement over the next few years.
