For our final Live from the Alliance Conference episode of Home Health Revealed, Hannah Vale and Sara Nigro close out the series with an incredible conversation with Melissa Battistella of Cadre Hospice. With deep expertise in revenue cycle management (RCM) and years of hands-on leadership, Melissa shares what it really takes to guide teams through change while keeping people—and purpose—at the center.
Melissa dives into:
- Leveraging human capital and why investing in your people delivers the greatest returns
- Teaching teams to master Medicare collections with confidence
- How to bundle into payor projects and document strategically so denied claims get paid
- The value of training as an investment, staying ahead of RCM “snowballs,” and building sandboxes for safe experimentation
- Avoiding analysis paralysis by creating safe spaces to use data, explore root causes, and strengthen decision-making
Her insights make it clear: lasting success in RCM isn’t just about processes—it’s about people leading those processes. If you’re ready to rethink how you support, teach, and empower your team, this is the conversation for you.
