Description

OCHCH offers its members a monthly “Hot Topic Forum” on Zoom, on the 1st Wednesday of each month. January 2025 is adjusted 1 week later due to the holiday.

Members can engage with OCHCH staff, our guest speakers, and connect with each other on topics such as advocacy & state funding, talent, compliance, regulations, and upcoming OCHCH educational offerings and training sessions. Members are encouraged to interact and get answers to some of the more pressing questions facing their organization today.

January 2025's Guest Speaker:

EVV update with Kristy Pyles, Principal Consultant, In Your Corner Consulting

Kristy brings over two decades of invaluable experience in the compliance industry, having served at both county and state levels. Her recent tenure at the state level involved leading the implementation of Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) as a state payer. Witnessing firsthand the substantial burden placed on providers and their vendors to uphold compliance with state and federal regulations, Kristy recognized a critical need for support in this industry. Kristy founded In Your Corner Consulting to provide comprehensive assistance to providers and technology vendors across the country, specializing in EVV implementation and compliance. Notably, Kristy has been instrumental in leading efforts for CMS EVV certification in five distinct states. Moreover, her team diligently collaborates with providers to navigate and mitigate the challenges posed by EVV claims denials, ensuring minimal revenue impact.
