WEBINAR: "PDPM - Ready or Not, Here it Comes!"Join us for a free PDPM webinar!

9/10/2019 - By Saltmarsh Healthcare Consulting

Effective October 1, 2019, skilled nursing facility (SNF) providers will be paid for Medicare Part A services under an entirely new per-diem SNF prospective payment system (PPS) the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM). Payment under the RUG-IV SNF PPS model will end on September 30, 2019. PDPM represents the most significant change in SNF Medicare Reimbursement since the implementation of PPS more than 20 years ago!

As the October deadline rapidly approaches, the Saltmarsh Healthcare team has put together a two-hour webinar entitled "PDPM - Ready or Not, Here it Comes!" This free webinar will occur on Friday, September 20th, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm EST.
