The implications of RUG-IV on your bottom line
In May 2009, CMS proposed sweeping changes that will dramatically alter the way facilities operate. These changes will limit the number of residents who qualify for higher-paying RUG categories, change a facilities RUG distribution and potentially decrease overall reimbursement to SNFs.
Learn from this 90-minute program with speaker Ronald A. Orth, RN, NHA, CPC, RAC-CT, and understand how the proposed changes will impact your reimbursement.
At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
