Date & Time: Apr 3, 2024 10:00 AM MT
The 2024 Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule advanced significant policies designed to address health equity. Specifically, new service codes for Community Health Integration (CHI) and Principal Illness Navigation (PIN) are intended to address health equity priorities These new services codes provide a direct pathway for reimbursement for the labor extended by auxiliary personnel, including community health workers, to the Medicare provider.
In addition, the Physician Fee Schedule allows providers to contract with community-based organizations that can provide staffing to address identified health-related social needs and the health navigation of affected populations. The Partnership is developing resources to address the core concepts required to implement CHI and PIN services.
This webinar will discuss the first of those resources, A Primer: Understanding the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Billing Codes for Community Health Integration (CHI), Principal Illness Navigation (PIN), and Principal Illness Navigation – Peer Support (PIN-PS) Services. This event will include an opportunity for questions and answers to inform planning for and implementation of CHI and PIN services.

Violet is teaming up with the Colorado Colorectal Screening Program to host a webinar on at 10 am MT, Monday, June 18.

Last fall, the Patient Navigator Training Collaborative surveyed people who have participated in trainings over the last several years to assess if the courses were indeed preparing people for work in the navigation field. A webinar was held on March 6 to highlight the results of this survey. Watch the video below.

Robust training programs, such as the PNTC, are crucial to supporting and enhancing the patient navigator workforce. This webinar featured Chris Jones, MPH, and the results of his capstone project: Workforce training in an evolving healthcare environment: An evaluation of Patient Navigator training using a follow-up survey.

This survey assessed the perceived confidence and utilization of the Patient Navigator Training Collaborative core competencies in patient navigator job roles.

Highlights include:

  • The majority of participants felt “very well prepared” or “well prepared” for their job after taking just the Level 1: Patient Fundamentals course
  • Participants reported strong confidence and daily use of competencies.
  • Supervisor support was found to be a statistically significant factor on the confidence of PNs to execute competencies in their job roles

This is event  was co-sponsored by the Patient Navigator Training Collaborative, Colorado Colorectal Cancer Screening Program and The Patient Navigation, Community Health Worker and Promotores de Salud Alliance. Download the presentation slides here.

About Mental Health

The burden of mental illness in the United States is among the highest of all diseases, and mental disorders are among the most common causes of disability. Mental health is essential to a person’s well-being, healthy family and interpersonal relationships, and the ability to live a full and productive life. Early diagnosis and treatment can decrease the disease burden of mental health disorders as well as associated chronic diseases. Assessing and addressing mental health remains important to ensure that all Americans lead longer, healthier lives.
