CMS will release the
2011 home health final rule November 1st. That
rule is expected to contain some of the most
significant coding changes to hit the home
health industry since the 2008 PPS rule. And
you only have until January 1, 2011 to comply.
Expected changes include Hypertension being
taken off the case mix list and other criteria
changes in co morbid conditions.
