The recently-passed omnibus healthcare reform bill aims to restructure the foundation of all private healthcare enterprises in the United States.  The ambitious reform packages seeks to provide comprehensive insurance coverage for up to 98% of all eligible Americans. In order to finance the bill, congress approved over 500 billion dollars in medicare cuts including substantial permanent cuts on home healthcare services and equipment.

What do these medicare budget cuts mean for the home health agents and their providers?  How can you prepare your organization to weather the changes.  Are there unanticipated challenges facing your business or perhaps new opportunities.

On Tuesday May 25th 2010, join Merill Lynch and NAPAHC to hear from two of the leading healthcare policy experts about the consequences of the passage 2010 Healthcare Reform for home healthcare businesses. Our panel will include leading authorities on Health Administration and Medicare policies both from private insurance-based health systems and within the federal government:

In 2008, the State of Illinois had over 750 licensed Home Healthcare Agencies.  It is widely, though quietly, believed that upwards of 80% of these agencies are owned, managed, or controlled by our Filipino-Americans.  This is an amazing figure, and speaks volumes about the entrepreneurial talents and the boundless capacity for caring compassion of our community.
