Home Health PDGM Year Three: Now What?

Only months after the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) took effect, the entire world was turned upside down by COVID-19. Now that we may finally be emerging from the pandemic, home health agencies are focusing less on PPE and more on finding their footing again on PDGM. So where are we and what’s ahead for PDGM?

Nick Seabrook, Managing Principal at SimiTree, helps us understand what the nearly two years of PDGM data has revealed and where PDGM is headed with Home Health Value-Based Purchasing on the horizon.
