It has now been over six months since the implementation of the MDS 3.0 and RUGS IV systems. While the RUGS IV system generally pays higher amounts for services rendered to SNF residents, failure to capture the appropriate ADL scores on a daily basis can prevent your facility from receiving the appropriate payment for services rendered. This webinar will show and explain how ADL miscoding can prevent your facility from receiving the appropriate reimbursement from the Medicare Program plus offer ways to overcome this problem.
Part II of this webinar series will be on May 18th at 2 p.m. EDT. This webinar will build from Part I and provide the clinical and financial solution to help long-term care facilities capture $7,000-$11,000 or more, per Occupied Medicare A bed, per year.
