Question 3

What is the average recoverable revenue for home health practices missing CMS updates?

Accepted Answer

According to CLV Intelligence's revenue model, home health practices operating under First Coast Service Options (Jurisdictions JN) that do not monitor CMS and MAC policy changes in real time may expose an estimated $19,699 in recoverable annual revenue per provider location.
