Health Systems Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:HSSO) announced the launch of a comprehensive PPS financial impact and forecasting platform, built specifically for Home Healthcare agencies to prepare for 2008 PPS changes.
The Medicare environment is changing rapidly for 2008 and this brings new challenges in calculating reimbursement under PPS. These changes have caused anxiety in the marketplace as to the impact they will have on both agencies and on vendors.
PPS Blueprint identifies those segments of the business which will benefit most from the proposed changes as well as those that will be negatively impacted. The PPS Blueprint compares Home Healthcare historic episodic performance against the new, proposed PPS rules and provides significant additional analysis such as providing access to the underlying episode data and modeling based on the new diagnosis groups.
The PPS Blueprint applies the proposed changes to historic data allowing agencies to compare reimbursements from current rules to expected changes in 2008. “To our knowledge, the PPS Blueprint is the most comprehensive approach to estimating PPS changes and potential business impact for Home Healthcare Agencies,” states Mike Milvain, CEO and President at HSS. “This is just one of the solutions HSS offers to help Home Healthcare agencies more proactively manage their business."
