Reimbursement under PDPM
Reimbursement under PDPM will require updates to clinical systems, policies and procedures, and operational focus.
MDS coding accuracy is paramount to appropriate payment, and coding accuracy requires consistent interdisciplinary team communication, data quality, efficiency to capture information for the five day assessment, and understanding of the critical elements and “moving parts” of the new model. Proactive created a facility PDPM action plan as part of the Moving Mountains webinar series which many facilities are using to guide a successful transition. At this point in your facility transition, the following tasks should be complete:
- RUG IV to PDPM impact analysis
- Clinical Category Mapping review and coding audits
- PDPM overview training
- Establish transition team
- Facility specific action plan with timelines and responsibilities assigned
Need a hand getting up to speed? Proactive offers a partnership plan to guide your successful transition. Our training, tools, and clinical reimbursement experts will ensure you are prepared for the October 1st transition to PDPM.
