SLPs are
often underutilized in home health (HH) care settings despite the value they
bring to patient care and outcomes. With the recent expansion of
Medicare’s home health value-based purchasing (HHVBP) model, the need
for SLPs will only increase. This webinar will discuss the critical role SLPs
play in the reimbursement structure of HH, in achieving the objectives of
HHVBP, and as part of the interprofessional care team.
