Consider these top areas providers should consider in 2021 workplans as they prioritize efforts with limited resources:
- Survey readiness
- Quality Measures
- PDPM coding accuracy
- Skilled documentation to support waiver use and claims involving payment associated with COVID positive status
- Accounting and reporting of Provider Relief Funds
- CMI accuracy
