   The Good, Bad, and Ugly of 2027 Home Health and Hospice Rules

   Home health and hospice just got a regulatory shake up, and the agencies that wait to react are the ones most likely to get burned. Mark Wilson and Annette Lee break down the 2027 home health proposed rule and the new hospice final rule through a practical lens: what changes, what matters, and what you need to do before the next audit lands on your desk. Annette Lee, founder and president of Provider Insights, brings decades of experience in patient care, Medicare Medical Review, appeals, and provider education. In this conversation, she cuts through the noise and explains where CMS is offering some unexpected upside, where reimbursement still falls short, and where the real danger is hiding in the fine print. You'll discover: - Why home health may finally see a slight payment increase, and what CMS is signaling about palliative care under the current benefit - The hidden "ugly" in the proposed rule, including far reaching program integrity provisions that could affect home health, hospice, SNFs, and more - Why affiliation rules, business relationships, and even long-past history could suddenly matter more than ever - What the hospice final rule now requires within five days of admission, and why that shift creates a major operational challenge - How the new SSVI measure, live discharge scrutiny, and outside spending are changing the way hospice agencies are judged

   The Hidden Risks In Home-Based Care Are Not Where Most Leaders Are Looking

   From cyberattacks and wage-and-hour claims to auto exposure and the fine print in EPLI, Steve Parkhurst Heffernan Insurance breaks down the coverage gaps that can catch home health, hospice, and home care agencies off guard and what smart operators do before an incident forces the conversation. Mark Wilson and Steve Parkhurs dig into what it really takes to run a safer, stronger organization when employees are working independently in patients’ homes, not under a single roof. The discussion goes beyond “do we have insurance?” and into the more important question: what risks are you actually managing, and which ones are still sitting in the blind spot? You’ll discover: - Why lack of supervision in home-based care creates risk that office-based organizations never face - The top claims hitting providers right now, including cyber, wage and hour, EPLI, and auto - How documentation, login/logout records, and written processes can make or break a wage-and-hour defense - Why timing matters after an incident, and how waiting even 2-3 days can drive claims costs up fast - How insurers think about expansion, acquisitions, geography, and rising auto costs in a changing market Steve also shares practical guidance on when to involve your broker, how often to review coverage, and why risk management should be treated as an ongoing business strategy, not a once-a-year renewal chore. If you lead a home health, hospice, or home care agency, this episode will help you think less like a buyer of insurance and more like a builder of resilience. Essential listening for agency CEOs, operators, and administrators who want to protect their team, their patients, and the long-term health of the business.
