The Clinical Side of the SNF Final Rule Medicare Analytics

Each year CMS issues a Final Rule affecting SNF Medicare Part A reimbursement. The complexity of changes to PPS, MDS coding, and the UB-04 often causes confusion between the MDS team and billing. The objective of this program is to familiarize the “larger” facility team (and network) with updates and potential changes following the release of the SNF Final Rule FY 2022. Understanding the changing clinical and financial environments that utilize the UB-04 information will ensure maximum reimbursement and accurate billing.
