Tackling Your Challenges in 2013
Presented by Rehab Connections
Introduction
The managed care pendulum is swinging again and every therapist and assistant can be better prepared to meet the challenge. Fortunately we have past experience because history repeats itself, plus we now have the ability to access a plethora of information. Your quality of patient care need not suffer, in fact, this is an opportunity to expand and hone your skills. This new course will enlighten you and provide you with the tools, strategies and resources to not only survive, but THRIVE!
In 2013, we are asking rehab professionals:
- Is documentation one of your challenges?
- Do you need clarification of medical necessity for your services?
- Are your patients being "denied treatment"?
- Are you concerned about utilization management such as OrthoNet, ACN, Telligen (formerly ENCOMPASS), and other groups?
- Have the new Medicare codes confused you?
- Need a "cheat sheet" for PLOF, EOB, LEFS, etc?
- Do your daily notes reflect skilled intervention?
- Do you know the true definition of function?
There is one constant in our profession, it is change; so why not prepare for it today?
