Why Resource Utilization Groups Matter
It’s no secret that wound care is costly and labor intensive, and facilities need to ensure they’re getting appropriate payment for services rendered. This means mastering the clinical indicators for RUG-IV, as well as RUG-III if you are still using this for Medicaid Case Mix in your state. This can result in a loss of over $100/day for a Part A resident if it is coded incorrectly.
WoundRounds recently asked me to share insights and knowledge on the topic of Wound Care and Reimbursement. I’ve spent over 19 years driving reimbursement results while maintaining the utmost compliance. In this free webinar, I share critical information impacting reimbursement such as:
- How to correctly identify and document the staging of a wound or pressure ulcer
- Using the Braden and Norton Scales during an assessment of a wounds
- How to comply to Code Section M correctly and accurately
- The Impacts of Rug-III and Rug-IV on your wound care treatment
- Proper expense management
If your facility is struggling to understand wound care reimbursement requirements and is looking for the latest regulations and documentation requirements, please view the free presentation entitled Clinical Reimbursement and Wound Care.
