Live Webinars

Learn about the episodes that do not fit under one of the 12 clinical groupings under PDGM and what to do to minimize risk.  Without an understanding of questionable encounters, providers may not only risk losing reimbursement but also face MAC scrutiny and provide services that they will not be paid for.  This webinar will give you insights to evaluate questionable encounters
and assess the impact to your agency.
