The Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) is revolutionizing how skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) receive Medicare reimbursement. Rehabilitation Associates is at the forefront of this change, propelling SNF's PDPM success. Here's how we maximize your PDPM reimbursement, enhance patient outcomes, and do so at no added expense to your center.
​How We Achieve PDPM Success
Our approach is a careful blend of precision, expertise, collaboration, and the use of cutting-edge technology.
Proper Documentation of Functional Statuses: Upon admission and during the initial first 5 days of rehab, our physiatrists meticulously document functional statuses, ensuring accurate patient placement in the correct tier.
Maximizing NTA Scores: Our experts comb the chart to extract every detail that contributes to maximizing Non-Therapy Ancillary (NTA) scores, positioning the patient appropriately within the PDPM structure.
Boosting Your Reimbursement: Leveraging our refined program and EHR, our physiatrists capture patient complexity accurately and document it effectively using PDPM mapped coding. An internal study has shown that skilled nursing facilities collaborating with us have seen an average monthly increase in reimbursement of approximately $38,000 per facility.
Enhancing Communication and Documentation: We help to eliminate the risk of missed or delayed reimbursements, reduce unplanned discharges, and advocate for appropriate lengths of stays to optimize your SNF operations. Our providers, equipped with expertise in PDPM coding, are adept at gathering essential information for accurate patient classification.
Providing Tailored Care: Specializing in rehabilitation, our physiatrists deliver patient-focused care to manage and alleviate physical, painful, or functionally limiting conditions. The core objectives are to optimize patient independence and enhance mobility.
Transforming Your SNF into a Profitable and Reputable Center: Our goal extends beyond merely improving your center's quality outcomes and revenue streams. We strive to make your SNF a highly-regarded center, outshining facilities that lack comprehensive physiatry programs.
