Pauline has a wonderful knowledge base and presents it well C. Mease, PT First day of info providing Medicare A; second day focuses on Med B. This set up was helpful in differentiating the two. S. Spence, OTA Las Vegas The handouts are put together well. I especially liked the "survival guide". One of the most informative courses I have ever attended. A. Adams, OTR Not boring, useful and practical for workplace. Presenter very knowledgeable and caring/considerate. J. McKay, OTR It was worth the 350 mile drive. S. Batenga, PT I hope to educate and pass on my new acquired knowledge to my peers and adjust according to provide appropriate treatment and documentation. T. Patton, PT St Louis and Chicago It was presented in terms that applied to us directly and with great explanation. C. Wagner, PTA The best Medicare class that I have been to. That's why we brought 14 of us!! S. Coon, OTR The content covered was a lot of information in 2 days but I would like to take it again in the future to continue to learn and understand. A. LaPrairie, OT Day 1 was really what I was looking for and wished we took it slower and spent more time in discussion. Day 2was way too detailed and too much time spent. N Cable, PTA Wow! I've never met someone who understood, explained, and utilized Medicare so well. T. Hanson, SLP Birmingham Loved the Medicare Pocket reference that was supplied to each participant. M. Rudd, SLP All new updates were clearly explained. K. Jones, OT Overall, very informative, could go back and do some education with my co-workers. P. Fair, PTA Columbus and Houston More than excellent, kept usually boring info interesting. L. Walsh, RN, DON Good information was provided with appropriate resources. M. Keys, OT It provides all the regs necessary for SNF management in a concise 2 day interactive course. You come to find out you've been doing everything out of compliance! R. Rivas, OTA So glad she was knowledgeable, specific and confident! J. Rumler, PTA The billing was great from a manger's perspective. S. Davis, PT Loved the handouts, especially the pocket guide. D. Smith PTA Sacramento Easy to understand and she communicates well, not in complicated terms. Great resources, handouts, tools etc. Great use of hands on by having us bring own notes, evals and MDS'. K. Jeffery, OT The 2nd day (Med B) showed me changes I need to make within our company to be more compliant with regs. C. Harvey, OT Raleigh I learned so much, Thanks. N. Roper, SLP, Director of Rehab All therapists, MDS coordinators and Administrators should attend this course. F. Garner, PT Very informative, presents not so interesting information in an organized, interactive format with pictures that increase your attention. K. Byrne, PT Understanding some of the differences in Part A and B Medicare. J. Watson, RN, DON Other Testimonials: A must to comply with Medicare's ever changing rules and regs. JP, PT - Rehab Manager (Medicare Made Easy) I am so sorry that I only bother you when I am confused and need help. Mrs. Franko you are the only person that I can go to and obtain accurate info, other words you are my guardian angel. Norma Marrero, P.T. Best course I have had in 12 years. SL, OT (Medicare Made Easy) Essentially, all allied health professionals should attend. MK, PT (Medicare Made Easy) Interesting to find out the 'true Medicare regulations' versus all the "somebody myths"! DM, PT (Medicare Made Easy) Thank you for decreasing my fear of coding and documentation. RP, PT (Documentation, Coding and Billing for Part B) Congratulations on this site and access to non-Corporate information. I am a foreign therapist that desires to stay within the accepted CMS guidelines especially for SNFs and I want to be able to prove to "bean counters" that therapists do have rules to abide by for preservation of our professional licenses and for prevention of Medicare fraud. I had been a victim in the past of a Corp's intention to defraud the Government. They fired me when I refused to do what they wanted me to do. That was soon after Measure 28 failed in the State of Oregon. The facility had 40 of 60 Medicaid beds all losing $36 a day per Medicaid bed. Yes, and the pressure was on to keep Med A patients on service irrespective of their PLOF one month earlier or before entry to the medical system. I refused to do that and needless to say was fired. So, bring on the CMC rules and make them loud and clear :) Cheers, Howard, PT Great Seminar; greatly appreciate your knowledge and sharing this with us. I will definitely recommend your seminar to all therapists that I work with. MH. PT (Medicare Made Easy) Need a course like this for the DON, MDS coordinator, Medicare nurse and/or unit manager. JA. PTA (Medicare Made Easy) This was a great seminar. It opened my eyes to several things I was doing right as well as things I need to discuss with supervisor and change. JR. SLP (Medicare Made Easy) This course met and exceeded all of my expectations! The enthusiasm Pauline teaches the seminar with is infectious. I haven't enjoyed a course this much in a long time. GR. PT (Documentation, Coding and Billing for Part B) |
