Project Sword 2.0

Project Sword 2.0 uses cost report data and business intelligence tools to visualize the financial position and trends of home health agencies.
MedPAC and CMS use cost report data to develop their recommendations for payment base rate changes for healthcare providers. See how their "Medicare Only" view of home health profitability shows an incomplete and inaccurate image of the financial health of Home Health Agencies. See what all-payer margins for HHAs look like and how the industry is threatened by CMS cuts to HHA payments and Medicare Advantage below cost reimbursement.
