Areas contributing to the overall loss are Mental Health and Outreach. However, both departments have had expense savings that have resulted inbetter than budgeted net income.
Additionally, Hospice revenue is below budget. Hospice is still very profitable, but due to the changes in the rate structure, the rate cutand a reduction in average daily census, Hospice is below budget for overall net income.

Hospicecensus had been higher each month than budgeted. October thru Decembercensus decreased from previous months and has fallen below budgeted census. The decrease is due to stricter utilization control on long-term stay clients.

Management is implementing operational strategies to adjust to the January, 2016 Medicare imposed 2-tier rate structure and to the October 2016 rate cuts. Management is also continuing to advocate to change the CBSA for Montgomery County from being grouped with Frederick to being grouped with Washington DC. The rates for DC are 5.24% higher than for Montgomery County. We are working within a Montgomery County coalition of agencies advocating for this change. In addition we are pursuing other advocacy channels with JCRC and directly with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Premier net service fees are above budget for the year due to an increase in staff hours.Hours have steadily increased in since September due to an increase in referrals.
