This is a must attend conference for everyone working in the long term care rehab arena. After a decade of RUGS III and the MDS 2.0, a new assessment and reimbursement system is being implemented on October 1, 2010. The revised SNF, PPS classification system RUGS IV (which determines payment) and the MDS 3.0 (which calculates the RUGS IV classification) will change reimbursement weights for rehab, reduce the profitability of providing rehab services, significantly change the delivery of concurrent therapy, revise qualifiers for extensive services, eliminate projections into rehab categories for new admissions, along with many other changes. These changes are shifting the “benefit” of providing resources to residents and patients, which in turn shifts reimbursement incentives. Adapting to the changes will require a total overhaul of how our rehab departments are managed. This seminar will review the changes, demonstrate how they impact on the facility’s revenue capture, and identify strategies to help manage the department for efficiency, productivity and reimbursement.
