Course Description:

Problem – Through our extensive work with IRFs and IRF audits performed around the country, we learned that inaccurate claims, ineffective documentation and incorrect coding for the IRF-PAI and UB-04 is, unfortunately, a prevalent problem. Expert guidance for accuracy is quite limited. There is also a lack of focused education and answers to tough questions that lead to accuracy, compliance and appropriate reimbursement. The IRF Pro workshop is now a virtual experience! AQ-IQ, LLC is partnering with the Mary Free Bed Education Academy to bring you the AQ-IQ IRF PRO LAB virtually! This course includes 20 hours of intensive training and hands-on case analysis. The detailed information provided will help the learner understand CMS documentation requirements to achieve appropriate IRF reimbursement. Attendees will be instructed on appropriate selection of codes for the IRF-PAI, including IGCs, etiologic diagnoses, comorbidities and complications, the principal diagnosis on the UB-04 and the expected variances for code selection between the two documents. Attendees will analyze actual IRF case studies for accuracy and opportunities, and will interact with other attendees to determine accuracy. The interdisciplinary background of attendees allows invaluable conversations to break down the barriers of receiving appropriate payment.
Our multifaceted team of experts, comprised of experienced coders, program directors, PPS coordinators, therapists and clinical liaisons created this extensive training solution for IRF professionals and coders.
