Description
With Medicare's Patient-Driven Groupings Model coming in 2020, compliance plays a critical role now more than ever. Reimbursement changes will enhance the need for better documentation as it relates to the diagnosis codes assigned on the claim. Therapy is still important yet costly to agencies, and it is crucial to understand the best methods to provide quality care that meets patient needs while staying financially viable. Agencies must ensure that clinical documentation supports the primary diagnosis and is focused on medication management, teaching and assessment, neurological and muscular rehab, complex nursing interventions, wounds, or behavioral health. Agencies must also ensure that documentation supports all co-morbidities listed on claims and that the co-morbidities are addressed in the plan of care and interventions.
