Product Description:

Sponsored by: Medicare Boot Camp® - Critical Access Hospital Version
Presented on Wednesday, October 27, 2010

This program will explain how regulatory changes in the IPPS final rule, OPPS proposed rule, Medicare Physicians Fee Schedule proposed rule, and healthcare reform legislation affect CAHs. Our speakers will not only explain what the changes are but how the changes will affect CAHs and how to incorporate these changes into hospital operations.
Note: This is an intermediate-level program. Participants should know the requirements for a hospital to be classified as a CAH.
