Non-members may also subscribe to the series for $599. These webinars are chock full of information that will be critical for any home health or hospice agency involved in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Registration provides access to the recordings, slides and other valuable materials to any staff member of a registered entity to access as frequently as is needed to digest this valuable content.
