Have confidence in the UR determinations you and your facility are making.
Take this 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 2022, CMS reversed course on the inpatient only list elimination and adopted a new strategy for auditing services removed from the inpatient only list. The OIG has also announced they will start patient status directed audits after a 7-year hiatus. Don’t become a target or leave money on the table—have confidence in the UR determinations you and your facility are making.
Medicare Boot Camp—Utilization Review Version also answers all your questions about navigating the CMS website and finding Medicare requirements. You will be able to find answers to your questions long after the Boot Camp is over.
