MDS Accuracy Reviews

Accuracy of the MDS impacts multiple areas of the LTC industry:quality of care, reimbursement, quality indicators and quality measures.

Understanding the coding instructions of the MDS can be challenging, and is essential under the current LTC PPS reimbursement system. In addition, current Pay for Performance legislation currently under review will compound the need for accuracy for optimization of reimbursement.

Our MDS Accuracy Reviews allow us to identify opportunities to assist you with compliance in the MDS/RAI process as well as PPS/Medicare rules, regulations and reimbursement.

With the current MDS modification policy, many errors identified on the MDS may be corrected, resubmitted and re-billed to provide you with accurate reimbursement. The MDS Accuracy Reviews often times will pay for themselves.
