OAMES Medicaid Training Seminar
Co-Sponsored by the Ohio Department of Medicaid
Quest Business Center - Columbus, Ohio
OAMES is proud to continue the tradition of offering quality education programs for home medical equipment providers with the support and cooperation of the Ohio Department of Medicaid and Ohio Association of Health Plans. These meetings are a unique opportunity for staff professional development and offer the only source of training specific to the Ohio Medicaid DME program.
The fall seminar features the following sessions:
- OAMES news on key legislative and regulatory activities including update from the American Association for Homecare on several CMS proposed rules – PA expansion for PMD demo in Ohio on October 1, 2014, proposed PA demo for other DMEPOS items, proposed rule to expand bidding rates to non-bid areas – and other Medicare policy issues. This also includes a review of the new guidance released by the DME MACs related to WOPD document corrections and delivery signature requirements.
- Update on DME rules under review by Medicaid Policy including the newly proposed wheelchair policy that restores funding of complex rehab technology for long term care residents to the DME fee-for-service benefit.
- Presentation by the Prior Authorization team led by Trina Hazley, RN, supervisor of ODM’s Clinical Review Section, on prior authorization issues and the current processing timeline.
- Kathy Frye, ombudsman with the Medicaid External Business Relations Section, will provide an update on the Medicaid fee-for-service program and share the latest on ICD-10 changes coming October 1, 2015. Kathy will be on-hand all day to trouble-shoot any matters with individual providers related to company-specific issues.
- Update on “MyCare Ohio”, Ohio’s integrated care delivery system, for dual eligible recipients. The program is now serving more than 100,000 residents in 29 Ohio counties. Representatives from all MyCare Ohio plans and the ODM Bureau of Managed Care will be in attendance to answer questions and share resources.
