NOTE: The PDPM intensive sessions will be open to all convention attendees who have purchased a Sunday Only, Wednesday Only, Full or Premium meeting package possessing an Attendee, Sunday or Wednesday badge. All other badge holders will not be given access. Access to PDPM proprietary tools will be provided via e-mail to SNF provider members only via e-mail at the conclusion of the convention.

The Patient-Drive Payment Model (PDPM) is now final with implementation scheduled for October 2019. Register for convention and receive the answers to your implementation questions during a 4-hour intensive session - Replacing RUGs – CMS’ New SNF Payment System & How to Get Ready for October 2019 Implementation. The intensive will be held on Sunday, October 7.
AHCA’s educational approach to PDPM will be to offer a holistic picture of how PDPM impacts SNFs and will incorporate PDPM interactions with:
• Requirements of Participation,
• Survey and Licensure,
• SNF Re-Hospitalization Measure Value-Based Purchasing,
• IMPACT Act Quality Reporting Program, and
• Other payers’ (Medicare Advantage and Medicaid) and their probable responses to PDPM.
In addition to in-depth training on the PDPM final rule, a member’s only tool kit will be introduced that will contain the core competencies framework and a readiness review tool that will help you track your operational readiness for PDPM. The intensive will also cover data gathered from 12 companies testing impacts of PDPM and provide hospital and discharge pattern data that could be helpful in member markets. Finally, a panel discussion of AHCA members will discuss opportunities and potential pitfalls for SNFs as they consider operational changes necessary to be successful under PDPM.
(This an encore of the Sunday, October 7 session)
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss how Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM) will impact MDS assessments and claim payment components
- Describe how PDPM will require changes to current SNF operations
- Explain how facilities are preparing for PDPM implementation
