Is your nursing facility receiving the Medicaid reimbursement you deserve? Rene Eastman, LeadingAge Wisconsin's VP of Financial & Regulatory Services and former Medicaid section manager, will provide tips and tricks to capture the historic rate increases currently being implemented. In the first hour, this webinar will take you and any new finance staff "back to basics" to describe the Wisconsin Medicaid reimbursement system under PDPM and get experienced finance staff “up to speed” on how key changes being implemented in SFY23 will significantly change your business strategy for the future. Learn how your facility can take advantage of the establishment of a Direct Care Nursing payment standard and stay under the new cap of allowable costs to provide the best care possible in a sustainable way.

The second hour of the webinar will focus on revenue capture through appropriate and complete billing and coding. Significant rate increases for Medicaid non-emergency transportation have changed the game and separately billable services are now worth a second look. Rene will explain the interaction between Medicaid managed care MCOs and the new reimbursement structures. Finally, Rene will preview MDS changes for October 1, 2023 and show analytics for your MDS staff to recognize how complete coding impacts Medicaid reimbursement.
