FAQs from the webinar | Why documentation in rehabilitation matters:
Reducing the risk for inpatient rehabilitation providers as CMS audits resume
People who choose a life of caring — and the organizations and communities they serve — deserve a special kind of support.
Inpatient rehabilitation facilities have been subject to an increase in Additional Documentation Requests (ADRs) from CMS external contractors and other federal agencies. Inpatient rehabilitation organizations and units can expect even greater scrutiny due to a history of poor performance. The latest Office of Inspector General (OIG) reports found that 80% of 2018 inpatient rehabilitation claims did not include documentation to support IRF care in accordance with Medicare’s requirements.
Recently, rehabilitation expert Jane Snecinski presented an important webinar, Why documentation in rehabilitation matters: Reducing the risk for inpatient rehabilitation providers as CMS audits resume. This webinar is now available on demand. In this document, Jane provides extensive responses to some of the most frequently asked questions during the webinar.
