REGISTER HERE   Hosted By: CMSA Atlanta Institutional Special Needs Plans (I-SNPs) represent a targeted and increasingly vital component of Medicare Advantage, specifically structured to support individuals who reside in long-term care facilities for 90 days or longer. These plans are designed to address the unique clinical, social, and functional needs of a medically complex and often underserved population. With the rise in value-based payment models and the ongoing transformation of eldercare delivery, I-SNPs are becoming a strategic pathway to deliver coordinated, cost-effective, and person-centered care. This session provides an exploration of I-SNPs from conceptual foundation to practical implementation. Attendees will examine eligibility criteria, enrollment considerations, and the various models of care delivery that make I-SNPs distinct from traditional Medicare and other managed care plans. The presentation will also dissect the business case for I-SNPs in skilled nursing and assisted living environments, including their potential to reduce avoidable hospitalizations, manage chronic conditions more effectively, and improve quality metrics that impact reimbursement.

CMSA Case Management Boot Camp September 24-26, 2025 Register Here! Case Management is a growing health care profession, with a presence in every health delivery setting. Professionals moving to case management positions may or may not have access to adequate orientation and training. They often ‘learn on the job’ and are not exposed to knowledge and skills that advance the practice of case management. CMSA is filling this gap with an in-person CM Bootcamp offering for case managers looking to build their skills and experience. The term ‘boot camp’ originated from the military’s requirement for intensive, short-term training. CMSA’s boot camp will provide an immersive and focused opportunity to grow and enhance the novice case manager’s skills through a three-part structure.

Deep dives into client/patient interactions, communication styles and motivational interviewing allow participants to practice […]

REGISTER HERE   Hospital at home is not a new medium of acute care, however during the pandemic, it became more mainstream to help alleviate capacity struggles. In 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) initiated a waiver called Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCAH) under section 1135. This waiver allowed hospital systems to offer acute inpatient care to patients in their own homes with greater flexibility. This waiver is set to expire soon and many healthcare organizations are hesitant to continue their hospital at home programs without its support. This presentation will provide a detailed description of the pending legislation as well as a review of Hospital at Home readmission rates, mortality rates, and reimbursement. Describe the pending legislation for continuation of the AHCAH waiver. Compare the readmission and mortality rates of hospital at-home patients with brick-and-mortar patients. Explain the reimbursement and cost rates of hospital at-home program vs brick-and-mortar.
