While billing has not historically captured the true value of palliative care in our health care system, it remains an important component of program financing—and billing opportunities have improved over time. The savvy palliative care program leader will optimize their billing practices for program growth and sustainability, but understanding how to navigate billing complexity is key. This hands-on preconference workshop will examine the fundamentals of billing and coding, then dive into strategies to help programs meet productivity benchmarks and leverage new Medicare billing opportunities.

Part 1: Fundamentals of Medical Decision Making (MDM) and Time-Based Billing

  • An overview of MDM billing, including when and how it should be applied. We’ll discuss the importance of accurately valuing the work palliative care teams do, with a focus on avoiding underbilling.
  • An introduction to time-based billing: when it is appropriate and what qualifies as billable time. We will clarify how to document and account for time in patient care to maximize revenue without compromising integrity.

Part 2: Productivity, RVU Targets, and Maximizing Revenue

  • An exploration of reasonable productivity and Relative Value Unit (RVU) targets, highlighting how different billing strategies can help meet these goals. We’ll discuss which practices are most effective for hitting targets in a sustainable way.
  • A review of recent changes and opportunities for primary care to capture revenue from previously underutilized activities such as principal illness navigation (PIN), chronic care management (CCM), community health integration (CHI), principal care management (PCM), and caregiver training. We’ll cover how to incorporate these into practice and the potential impact on overall revenue

Learning Outcomes

  • State how recent changes in Medicare billing and coding apply to the work of palliative care teams.
  • Define MDM billing and time-based billing.
  • Compare revenue and productivity values for various palliative care billing strategies.

Leading palliative care teams requires confident communication skills and an ability to build influence and collaborative relationships across your organization. Effective leaders must navigate the challenges of shifting priorities, financial uncertainty, team conflict, and potential resistance with a constructive approach. Maintaining engagement, articulating a clear vision, sustaining patience, and projecting confidence can often feel like a delicate balancing act—and these pressures can contribute to burnout.

This interactive workshop will use realistic scenarios, collaborative learning, and practical frameworks to practice skills for responding in these common situations. Together, we will explore strategies for preparing to meet with financial partners, fostering team engagement, delivering and receiving feedback, navigating organizational politics, and understanding the nuances of your leadership role. Join us to enhance your leadership capabilities and build resilience in your practice.

Learning Outcomes

  • Discuss the complexities of organizational dynamics and strategies to effectively navigate these dynamics to the benefit of palliative care teams and patients.
  • Identify practical techniques to navigate and resolve team conflicts to promote a collaborative team environment.
  • Execute conversations with organizational leadership about palliative care program performance and resources.

Financial incentives drive behavior across the health system. Fee-for-service incentives can drive overuse and overtreatment (the more procedures you do the more money you keep). Capitation or value-based incentives can drive undertreatment and reduce access to quality care (the less money you spend, the more you keep). More than three-quarters of U.S. hospices, home care agencies, and nursing homes are now for-profit, a radical change that occurred in just the last few decades. A majority of Medicare beneficiaries are now enrolled in Medicare Advantage, largely administered by for-profit insurers. For patients with serious illness and their families, the consequences can include lack of access to needed care and services, confusing bureaucracy, and disempowerment. How can today’s health care leaders navigate financial pressures while being effective advocates for our patients? What levers exist to change the parameters for how we deliver care to people with serious illness, and what do the experts see on the horizon? CAPC’s founding director, Dr. Diane Meier, and Dr. Sachin Jain, CEO of nonprofit SCAN Health Plan, will discuss their perspectives on how to maintain passion, effectiveness, and the capacity to make a difference for patients and caregivers in a challenging financial environment.

Learning Outcomes

  • Describe the impact of reimbursement or financing models on health care delivery in the U.S.
  • Identify 3 trends in the care of people with serious illness that result from health care payment models.
  • Explain the role of health care leaders in ensuring high-quality care in a complex financial landscape.
