Understanding Medicare Part A in the SNF setting is a must for therapy & MDS professionals.
Medicare Part A is much more than the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM)
Now, more than ever, therapists need to understand all the components of Medicare Part A, including the impact of the MDS and Quality Measures on Part A reimbursement.
Let us help you put all the pieces together!
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
This course reviews in detail the rules and regulations that govern Medicare Part A in the SNF setting. Course material includes technical criteria (ie: 3 night stay, 30 day window, 60 day spell of wellness), coverage criteria (skilled care, reasonable and necessary care) and a detailed look at the Part A reimbursement system. RUG-IV is reviewed as a comparison to PDPM, with the focus on the PDPM reimbursement structure. The MDS, MDS scoring and resulting UB-04 billing is reviewed. SNF Part A negative practice patterns and fraud triggers for PDPM are reviewed, including strategies for therapy department compliance.
