Presentation Date: 6/22/2022
Medicare’s Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) is approaching its 10th birthday. That has provided commercial and managed care plans plenty of time to follow suit and create their own version of a readmission review program with associated penalties. Join us as we discuss the various readmission reduction programs and successful strategies for overturning the resulting denials.
At the conclusion of the webinar, the learner will be able to write a persuasive argument focused on defending the medical necessity of the patient’s readmission. The learner will be able to:
- Identify at least three of the conditions included in the Hospital Readmission Reduction Program from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
- Identify one circumstance when a readmission may have been appropriate
- Identify one method of defending appropriate readmissions through the appeals process
