Medicare Basic Training Part 6: Skilled Rehabilitation On-Demand Workshop

SNF staff have the ultimate responsibility of determining skilled coverage at the time of the delivery of care. No outside entity reviews the records and makes this decision during a beneficiary’s stay. SNF staff must understand what the Medicare Administrative Contractor will be looking for in the documentation to support those skilled services were provided. Following Medicare Basic Training Part 6: Skilled Rehabilitation Requirements, you will be able to recognize the requirements that qualify as skilled rehabilitation care under Medicare Part A, as well as the documentation requirements of therapy under Medicare Part A in the SNF.
