Session Information:
When the appropriate ICD-10 code is captured, this has a positive impact on Medicare reimbursement. This class will help identify areas in the PDPM model to enhance your facility’s reimbursement. Do not miss this rare opportunity to have your staff learn how to make a positive difference in reimbursement as well as documentation for your facility.
