Avoiding the Pitfalls of Multiple Coding and Incorrect Sequencing in ICD-10 codes
February 27th, 1:30pm to 3:00pm, Eastern Time
During this presentation, we will review the data/information required to properly complete this form (CMS Form 1728-94) by worksheet series (i.e., S, A, B, C, D & F). We will also discuss some of the regulatory requirements to properly complete the Medicare Cost Report (MCR). We will also identify various pieces of data, information, and benchmarks available via your own MCR; much of which is mistakenly overlooked and/or misunderstood, which, when properly used can help you to improve your overall understanding and financial results going forward. The MCR can be a steppingstone to improving your ability to succeed in home health.
