There are two primary coding changes that will impact reimbursement under PDPM. The first one is the change from the use of the MDS Section G to using Section GG for the functional components for the PT\, OT and nursing Case Mix Indexes (CMI). The second big change is using diagnosis coding as the primary reason for the SNF stay to support the patient characteristics for PT\, OT\, ST\, Nursing and the Non-Therapy Ancillary (NTA) CMI and reimbursement. This seminar will focus on both the know-how to identify coding inaccuracies\, CMS’ intent regarding correct diagnosis and Section GG coding and improved documentation to support both diagnosis coding and Section GG coding. Expert faculty will lead participants through real examples to develop coding mastery. \nAt the end of this presentation the attendee will: \n• Understand the transition from Section G to Section GG coding for the functional component and reimbursement starting October 1\, 2019 \n• Become aware of current coding inaccuracies of the submitted Section GG on the 5-day MDS \n• Demonstrate an understanding of the intent and guidelines of Section GG as outlined by CMS \n• Be able to define and explain each component of Section GG for PT\, OT and nursing \n• Apply the coding scale accurately to capture the usual performance utilizing real SNF patient examples \n  \n• Demonstrate documentation supporting coding of Section GG for reimbursement purposes \n• Understand the PDPM requirements for identifying the reason for the SNF stay \n\nReview risks associated with incorrect diagnosis coding\, including the impact of RTP codes\nLearn to utilize the CMS tools for correct diagnosis coding under PDPM\nPractice coding scenarios for SNF admission examples using coding manuals/other tools \n\n  \n  \nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nSMF MDS coordinators and RNACs\, clinicians\, coders\, corporate\, compliance\, officers\, rehabilitation therapists and others involved in the SNF MDS process and reimbursement \n  \nClick HERE to register URL:https://leadingagenjde.org/event/achieving-success-for-your-skilled-nursing-facility-mastering-coding-of-section-gg-icd-10-diagnosis-coding-for-pdpm/ LOCATION:NJHA Conference and Event Center\, 760 Alexander Rd.\, Princeton\, NJ\, 08540\, United States CATEGORIES:Event,Front Page END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190611T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190611T183000 DTSTAMP:20260518T114218 CREATED:20190228T201814Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220907T161713Z UID:10000075-1560240000-1560277800@leadingagenjde.org SUMMARY:LeadingAge New Jeresy Annual Meeting & EXPO DESCRIPTION:LeadingAge New Jersey’s Annual Meeting and EXPO is the premier event for mission driven providers of high quality health care\, housing and services for seniors.
