sThis highly interactive course provides participants with everything
they need to know about delivering therapy services to Medicare
beneficiaries in the SNF setting.

to assure reimbursement without overwhelming therapists; MDS 2.0/3.0
and RUGS III/IV; appropriate use of Part B services; utilization and
supervision of non-therapist staff; RACs, MACs, ZPICs and CERTs and
Medical Review, and the top reasons for denials and the solutions
help fix the problems.

Time is spent in helping participants plan changes that they must
make to be compliant with Medicare rules while achieving the maximum
legal reimbursement for their therapy services.
