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)

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.
