 OVERVIEW

This highly interactive course is designed to provide participants with everything they need to know about delivering therapy services to Medicare Part B beneficiaries in the outpatient setting.

Topics include: medical necessity of Medicare services; understanding "skilled" care; individual vs. concurrent vs. group care; documenting services to assure reimbursement without overwhelming therapists; RACs, MACs, ZPICs and CERTs and Medical Review, and the top reasons that claims are denied and the solutions to fix the problems.

Lab exercises and case studies will be utilized to provide the participant with fuller understanding of the regulations and their impact on reimbursement.

Time will be spent at the end of the program to help participants plan the changes that must be made in their practice to be compliant with Medicare rules while achieving the maximum legal reimbursement for therapy services.

All information provided will be specifically annotated to Medicare regulations.
