The Quest for Pinpoint Accuracy of the IAF and Optimal Reimbursement

Summary:

The Quest for Pinpoint Accuracy of the IAF and Optimal Reimbursement” webinar will focus on review of the documentation regulations and the “workings” of the DD classification system. In addition, we will identify the specific items on the form that are often inaccurately coded. The participants will be exposed to the nuances of accurately and fully capturing the amount of assistance and oversight needs of the developmentally disabled population.

Objectives:

1. Identify regulations regarding documentation and completion of the IAF.
2. Delineate the Resident Assessment Classification system and how reimbursement works based on the results from the IAF.
3. Review accurate coding of the IAF focusing on the most frequently found items of under-coding.




How it will work:

One week prior to the webinar, you will receive an email with the toll-free number and access code for your contact person at the facility to enter the webinar, as well as any handout materials and continuing education request forms. The number and access code are only valid for one connection (phone line & computer) per each registered organization. Any additional connections will be billed the webinar registration fee.

Continuing Education Credits:

The programs is approved for one (1.0) hour of credit for nursing home administrators and nurses. Individual attendance will be monitored throughout the call. Only those attending the entire call will be awarded continuing education credit. All participants regardless of need for CEUs, will receive a certificate of attendance. Upon receipt of your request for continuing education form, certificates will be mailed to the facility.

How much does it cost?

Facilities will pay one low fee for an unlimited number of participants. However, the number and access code is valid only for one phone line/computer at the location registered with the Association. Any additional telephone #’s/computers calling in will be billed for the registration fee.

Have a conflict the day or time of the call or just want other shifts to be able to hear the program? This program is being recorded and a cd-rom along with the handouts is available for purchase. CEUs are not available for listening to the CD.

It is imperative that an email address is provided as this is where call in code and handout materials will be sent.
