The leader in nursing facility staff training and development programs, Extended Care Products, Inc. is proud to introduce this innovative and timely must-see program.  Hosted by noted PPS/MDS expert Joel VanEaton, BSN, RN, RAC-CT, this DVD presentation helps get you familiar, knowledgeable and comfortable with the ever-changing SNF PPS landscape that is occurring.

CMS has released the SNF PPS Final Rule for Fiscal Year 2012. The directives, which CMS has mandated in the Final Rule, will take effect October 1, 2011.  Much of the Proposed Rule, published in May, has been retained in the Final Rule and now is the time to become acquainted with the changes CMS has finalized.  Providers need to be able to hit the ground running when they will be required to implement these changes on October 1st.  Facilities that procrastinate and put off learning about these new CMS directives until the first of October (when the changes actually occur) will be left in the dust of the fast changing PPS landscape.

WARNING:  Because the new CMS SNF PPS Final Rule will drastically reduce payments to SNFs, failing to be aware of and able to deal with these vitally important changes will seriously affect your nursing facility's monetary reimbursements and your future financial health.

In the final rule, CMS has moved to:

• Recalibrate the RUG payment system, reducing payment to SNFs by 11.1%, or 3.87 billion dollars.

• Revise the definition of Group Therapy, Allocate Group Therapy Minutes and clarify the documentation guidelines related to group therapy.

• Revise the PPS MDS assessment ARD windows for the 14, 30, 60, and 90-day assessments.

• Require two new OMRA assessments, the End of Therapy Resumption (EOT-R) and Change of Therapy (COT).
