Who Should Attend
Members of your team that would benefit from an overview of the required administration and reimbursement requirements involved with Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid\MCO payers and processes. This would be a great time to invest in building your Medicare\Insurance\Admissions SWAT (Skilled Workers with Advanced Tools) Team and their "Back-ups"!! It is best to have representation from your Office\Billing department, Admissions, Social Services, and a representative from nursing that knows the MDS and assessment process.
