Get Your Questions Answered by Medicare Officials About Home Health and Skilled Nursing Facility Payment Changes
The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) is offering members two opportunities to get their questions answered by officials from Medicare about the major payment changes coming to home health and skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). The free, live webinars will also feature speakers from AOTA, the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
The webinars are open to members of the three organizations and have limited availability. Register now to reserve your spot. If you can’t make the live webinar, AOTA will share recordings of both webinars, which will be open to the public.
