With Medicare cutting an estimated $1.7 Billion in reimbursements in the last two fiscal years combined with the $3,700
manual medical review process putting virtually all part B reimbursement at risk, the need for solid, consistently skilled
documentation is at an all time high. The Affordable Care Act brings further cuts to reimbursement, tightening the belt
further on companies that employ therapists across the nation. Skilled service providers that cannot document properly
are a liability to their employers and ultimately, themselves.
Documentation Bootcamp is a one-day workshop designed to take participants through the steps to denial-proof
documentation. Participants will learn how to interpret assessment data for patients on Medicare, set realistic functional
goals, and identify effective interventions to facilitate improvement of function based on accurate assessment data. By
strengthening therapy documentation skills, patients are protected from premature discharge from deserved care; extra
demands upon therapists due to denied claims that go through challenging appeals are prevented; and stable levels of
reimbursement for companies that employ therapists are ensured.
