Overview

In the United States, the largest and fastest-growing population of patients seen at community health centers is those 65 and older. Additionally, older CHC patients tend to require more complex care, necessitating enhanced care coordination. This 3-part webinar series will arm CHCs with the knowledge and practical tools to understand the importance of providing care coordination services and how to bill for them, learning from CHC colleagues as well as program and billing experts in the space.

The first webinar will cover the basics of Medicare care coordination, while the second will focus more on the billing logistics. The third webinar will focus on starting or contracting with a PACE program (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE).

For CHCs that are already billing for care coordination services, the first two webinars will serve as a refresher and help them look beyond to see if PACE provides comprehensive medical and social services to those in CHC communities who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid.
