Some of the services we provide to the long-term care industry include: Medicare and Medicaid Reimbursement - The long-term care industry is a dynamic environment, creating significant challenges for providers of long-term care services. With the continuous changes in legislation, the task of successfully preparing Medicare and Medicaid cost reports is extraordinarily difficult. Our team of experienced reimbursement professionals is heavily involved with state and federal agencies in the preparation of Medicaid and Medicare cost reports. Since our firm prepares more Medicare and Medicaid long-term care cost reports in the Commonwealth of Virginia than anyone else, we have built a database of key comparators from our clients. Our clients not only receive a cost report that is prepared to appropriately optimize their reimbursement, but also a management report commenting on specific reimbursement opportunities and comparing your facility with other comparable facilities. Long-term Care Accounting Services - Our firm has professionals who have worked in long-term care facilities and are familiar with nursing facility Medicare, Medicaid, and Commercial billing. Our staff can assist in Medicare, Medicaid, and Commercial billing services including the actual transmission of client billings. Clinical Services - Our clinical staff consists of experienced professionals who have served as DONs, ADONs, and MDS Coordinators within long-term care facilities. Our clinical group can perform an audit of your facility's medical records and evaluate MDS coding for accuracy of ADLs, therapy minutes, and other MDS items. In addition, the audit will assess the completeness of skilled nursing documentation to support rehab and skilled services as well as the effective use of observation periods and grace days. This review includes an audit of compliance with Medicare eligibility and continued stay requirements.
