Maximize PDPM Reimbursement and Quality Measures with Expert MDS Training

Unlock Revenue & Boost Quality with a Trained MDS Nurse

The role of your MDS nurse is critical to your facility’s revenue and Quality Measures (QM). Proper MDS training ensures accurate assessments that directly affect your PDPM reimbursement and compliance with CMS standards. Without it, your facility could be missing out on valuable NTA points, overlooked ARD dates, and improper MDS coding, costing you thousands in revenue.

Real Case: $20,000 Recovered

At a 50-bed SNF, primarily rehab-based with Medicare Part A patients, we conducted a free MDS utilization review and found $20,000 in missed billing. By correcting PDPM assessments and retraining their MDS nurse on RAC-CT protocols, both revenue and Quality Measures improved.
