In this episode of PATHTalks, our experts delve into the significant adjustments happening in the realm of skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). Join us as we unpack the removal of Section GG discharge goal column and the integration of COVID vaccination status in Section O, both pivotal components stemming from the FY2024 SNF PPS Final Rule.
Why do these changes matter? How will they directly impact your facility’s Medicare Annual Percentage Update (APU)? The potential loss is staggering: Failure to grasp and correctly code the new Discharge Function Measure could lead to a substantial 2% loss — a detail you won’t want to overlook.
Tune in to hear from Pathway Health experts Robin Davis, Director of Regulatory and Reimbursement Services, and Colleen Toebe, Director of Consulting Services, as they share actionable steps to prepare for these shifts. From educating your staff to ensuring documentation is up-to-date for seamless coding by your MDS Coordinator, they will provide the path to success for you to follow.
