This one-page resource for SNF providers illustrates how Medicare 5-Day and PPS Discharge combined assessments can impact a facility’s Annual Medicare Payment Update (APU) calculation.
This fact sheet explains that a combined 5-day/Part A PPS Discharge Assessment counts as two separate MDSs for the SNF QRP MDS data threshold under the SNF Quality Reporting Program (QRP).
CMS also announced that providers should anticipate a more in-depth training focused on the criteria for success for the QRP APU in the near future.
