AHCA’S VIRTUAL PDPM TRAINING IS AVAILABLE:

If you missed NCHCFA’s in-person PDPM training earlier this year, you can now take  AHCA’s Virtual PDPM Training. This online training mirrors the in-person training and can also be taken by those who feel like they could benefit from taking the PDPM course again.

The new Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) for skilled nursing facilities begins October 1, 2019. The PDPM system will rely on more than 180 MDS item fields and completely transforms the existing Medicare Part A payment system for skilled nursing facilities. Staff roles and facility processes must be substantially modified to operate effectively under PDPM.

The virtual training allows AHCA SNF members to learn about the critical steps necessary on the pathway to success under PDPM. Included with the virtual training is access to all materials on AHCA’s PDPM Academy. The PDPM Academy is where updates, tools, webinars and other supporting materials are housed. AHCA SNF members who attend the Virtual PDPM Training will also be able to join in free monthly PDPM Academy webinars hosted by AHCA.

With a little less than 2 weeks before PDPM implementation, AHCA’s Virtual PDPM Training can set your facility up for success. This training is available to AHCA SNF provider members only. The cost for the training – whether first time or repeated – is $350. The training has been approved for 8 NAB CE credits.
