Identifying, understanding, and correcting your skilled nursing facility’s most common PDPM mistakes

Presented by: Scott Heichel, RN, RAC-MT, RAC-CTA, DNS-CT, CIC, QCP, IPCO

COVID-19 has upended the way skilled nursing facilities deliver care. The public health emergency has impacted every workflow and process, including admissions and documentation. Throughout the public health emergency, your primary focus has been patient care. Because of this focus on PDPM, the most significant long-term care reimbursement change in over 20 years has taken the back seat in interdisciplinary meetings.

In this webinar, renowned expert Scott Heichel, Director of Clinical Reimbursement at LeaderStat, will review areas of PDPM that have caused SNFs to struggle. The best practices shared in this webinar will help you reimagine PDPM workflows ensuring your team captures non-therapy ancillary comorbidities and documents resident needs accurately.

During this session, we will review best practices related to the:

  • Accurate selection of the primary medical condition that supports the skilled nursing stay
  • Accurate selection of the Assessment Reference Date (ARD) for each Medicare admission
  • Assessment of section GG via an interdisciplinary team process
  • Discharge goal selection and care planning process to support the SNF QRP
  • Capture of NTA points
  • Capture of speech therapy comorbidities, swallowing disorders, and more
  • Proper utilization of the Interim Payment Assessment (IPA)
