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 skilled nursing facility prospective payment classification system RUGS IV (which determines payment) and the MDS 3.0 (which calculates the RUGS IV classification) will impact 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.
Learning Outcomes:
- By the conclusion of this course participants will be able to:
- Summarize changes in the MDS which will impact rehab management and care delivery
- Identify changes in RUGS IV
- Understand how the changes to MDS 3.0 and RUGS IV will impact rehab practice
- Identify how to adapt management under MDS 3.0/RUGS practices to ensure staffing efficacy and revenue capture.
- Construct strategies to integrate all payment systems and audit initiatives into a united department.
