Medicare Boot Camp®—Utilization Review Version is an intensive two-day course focusing on the Medicare regulatory requirements for patient status and the role of the utilization review (UR) committee.

Managing patient status plays a critical role in proper compliance, correct reimbursement, and stabilizing inpatient payments for the hospital. In 2020, CMS made significant changes to the inpatient-only list and continues to change its strategies for auditing patient status. Don’t become a target or leave money on the table—ensure the UR committee is ready to implement and leverage the regulatory requirements.

Take advantage of this in-person socially distanced boot camp where you'll engage with our expert instructors as well as your peers solving challenges you face day in and day out concerning Medicare regulations, and leave with best practices to share with your organization!

CONVINCE YOUR BOSS LETTER TEMPLATE

Dear [Supervisor Name],

I am interested in attending The Medicare Boot Camp®—Utilization Review in [Location] this coming [Date].

I’ve selected this event for the professional development opportunity and the training I would receive to further hone my Medicare expertise. The Medicare Boot Camp®—Utilization Review focuses on the Medicare regulatory requirements for patient status and the role of the utilization review (UR) committee.

I would leave this two-day class knowing:

• How to apply the 2-midnight benchmark and 2-midnight presumption
• Implement changes to the inpatient-only list
• The differences between post-discharge versus concurrent patient status reviews
• When self-denial is appropriate to take advantage of Part B payment for an inpatient case
• How NCDs, LCDs, and coverage with evidence development (CED) affect coverage of cases that meet the 2-midnight benchmark
• The observation coverage rules and how they interact with the 2-midnight benchmark
• When ABNs and HINNs should be used for stays that don’t meet medical necessity requirements

Not only are the boot camps taught by industry leading instructors, they are also some of the most cost‑effective on the market. They provide an extensive notebook of course materials that I can use to share my learnings with the team to help us incorporate the strategies, takeaways and best practices into our own facility.
