Say goodbye to RUGs-IV and say hello to PDPM.

The much-anticipated RCS-1 system is no longer on the horizon. Instead, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM) in the FY 2019 SNF PPS Proposed Rule. The PDPM payment model for PPS SNF patients is proposed to be implemented in October 2019.

As we move away from a payment model driven by therapy minutes to one based on patient characteristics, how will your facility continue to provide therapy in a fiscally responsible manner? How will you pay your therapy contractor when therapy minutes do not drive payment?

We’ll address these and many more questions in this informative training session.
