ICD-10 Diagnosis Coding Training for Skilled Nursing Facilities: Know the Code for Reimbursement Success - Tuesday, June 28, 2022 - In person, Hilton Garden Inn, Waltham, MA
With the implementation of PDPM on October 1, 2019, ICD-10 coding is of paramount importance. Reimbursement is dependent on diagnosis and conditions reported in the MDS. Take action now to avoid unrealized revenue due to ineffective coding. Diagnoses, specifically ICD-10 codes, are used to place the resident into one of 10 PDPM clinical categories which will determine the PT/OT/SLP payment components as well as impacting the Nursing and NTA components. Join us to reinforce your skills and improve your Clinical Case Mix Groupings assignments under PDPM.
Target Audience: MDS nurses, therapists, medical records staff and coders
