The Transparency Tsunami: CMS Is Rewriting the Rules. Adapt or Die.

Home / Home Health Billing Master Class

About This Virtual Master Class Series

CMS has been running a 15-year experiment to answer the question: how do you get a fragmented, fee-for-service healthcare system to behave like an integrated, accountable system without nationalizing it? The answer they have landed on is radical transparency combined with distributed accountability, and every major regulatory move of the last five years is a piece of that strategy. Home health has always been a reactive industry. A regulation drops—agencies scramble. An audit wave hits—agencies panic. A new payment model launches—agencies wait to see what everyone else does.

That reactive posture has (barely) worked for decades, but not anymore. Most providers don’t see the pattern because they are too busy reacting to the last thing that happened. This three-part master class is about the pattern. We are going to connect the dots and show you exactly where CMS is taking this industry and what you need to do right now, not in five years, to still be standing when it gets there.

Speakers: Petria McKelvey, CEO, PMB Precision Medical Billing Inc.| Home Health Revenue Cycle Management Expert since 1989.

Dates: October 8, 15, and 22

 

Key topics covered

1 and 2 – The Rules That Already Changed: The wave that already hit and why too many agencies are still catching up.

Your Documentation Data is Your Destiny: Why OASIS, PDGM, homebound status, physician relationships, and outcome reporting are not clinical obligations—they are your agency’s most powerful and most underused strategic assets.

Phase 3 – The Accountability Shift: New payment models, RCD on the horizon, and the single most-important question every home health agency in the country needs to answer before it is too late.

The Independent Agency’s Competitive Moat: Why large health systems and PE-backed nationals cannot replicate what a well-run independent agency does, and how to stop giving that advantage away.

The Truth About Where This is All Going: What CMS is actually building, and why the window to get ahead of it is shorter than most agencies think.

Phase 1 and 2 – The Rules That Already Changed: NSA, Cures, EVV, and the Wave That Already Hit

Every regulation of the last decade has one thing in common, and most agencies have been too busy reacting to see it. This session reveals the pattern, the intent behind the mandates, and what it tells us about what is coming next.

Topics include:

  • • What the NSA is and what home health agencies must do; what the penalty exposure actually looks like; and why this mandate is the first instrument of patient accountability CMS has ever put in the room with you.
  • What you are legally prohibited from doing, what your EHR vendor owes you versus what falls squarely on you, and why interoperability is the foundation everything else CMS is building will rest on.
  • EVV and RCD: What is already happening in active states, and why every agency in the country should be treating those results like a weather forecast. Learn what CMS MAC’s data is telling us about where CMS enforcement is heading next.

One nursing contact hour is available for this session.

Class 2: October 15, 2026, 12pm EST

Your Documentation Data is Your Destiny

Stop charting just for compliance, and start charting for survival. Your clinical staff generate data every single day that determine your payments, your audit risks, your public quality scores, and your referral relationships. Most agencies treat the data like paperwork. This session is about what to do instead.

Topics include:

  • How your OASIS is not just a clinical form, rather it is your agency’s financial and reputational engine. What is it actually driving, what are most agencies getting wrong, and what is it costing them in ways they have not connected yet?
  • Homebound status in the EVV era: The standard has not changed, but the ability to verify it has. What does that mean for your agency right now and the liability you may not know you are carrying?
  • The physician relationship is a revenue cycle problem: Why face-to-face documentation failures are almost entirely preventable, and why fixing them solves your biggest compliance liability and your biggest referral opportunity at the same time.

Phase 3 – The Accountability Shift: From Service Delivery Organization to Care Coordination Entity

CMS is not just adding regulations—it is moving accountability from the payer to the provider, and from the episode to the relationship. Phase 3 is where it arrives. This session tells you what that means for your agency and what you need to do about it right now.

Topics include:

  • Learn which model is already changing your referral pipeline whether you know it or not: What it does, who it affects, and why your public outcome scores are now the first thing a hospital discharge planner sees when they decide where to send their patients.
  • What CMS is building next: The new models reshaping how your referral sources are paid and what that means for which agencies they choose to work with.
  • The independent agency’s competitive moat and how to stop giving it away. Large systems have scale; they do not have intimacy, speed, or local clinical embeddedness. We will show you how to build on what you already have before the window closes.
