MDS/ Medicare – Insight + Training + Resources
May 11, 2022
Keeping up-to-date on new regulatory processes can be an overwhelming and difficult task. Changes continue to occur at a rapid pace especially for MDS Coordinators making support and training a priority to achieve quality, person-centered care.
CMS UPDATE:
On April 11, 2022, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published a proposed rule that would update Medicare payment policies and rates for skilled nursing facilities under the Skilled Nursing Facility Prospective Payment System (SNF PPS) for fiscal year (FY) 2023.
In addition, the proposed rule includes proposals for the SNF Quality Reporting Program (QRP) and the SNF Value-Based Program (VBP) for FY 2023 and future years.
CMS is requesting comments by June 10, 2022.
