Billing Under PDPM and the Interrupted Stay Policy

On October 1, CMS implemented the new PDPM reimbursement system for SNF providers. With any change in payment system also comes questions related to how the new system may impact billing and other regulatory requirements. CMS recently issued three Program Transmittals (R126, R4409, and R261) which provide further clarifications in the areas of billing, physician certifications and recertifications, and the interrupted stay policy.

In this webinar, we present information related to each of these transmittals. In addition, a review of the interrupted stay policy and assessment requirements is presented along with detailed information related to billing an interrupted stay.
