Medicare's PDPM structure is consistent nationally, but across the 30 state Medicaid systems that adjust reimbursement using the MDS, all bets are off. To manage PDPM-based CMI, state-specific expertise is essential. Beyond the PDPM score, depending on the state, Medicaid Rate Construction is a nuanced equation that involves cost reporting, wage-indexing, Direct Care cost allocations driven by population acuity differentials, eligibility markers, add-ons, offsets, and an endless array of arbitrary adjustments. Those delicate variables are carefully poured into a chaos-blender to be transmuted into a pasty bolus of distortion and mispricing that threatens the financial integrity of the entire long-term care sector, but that's not the point. What matters today is that CMI-Connect & PDPM-Connect are gamechangers in clinical reimbursement management and efficiency. Ask any one of the 1,200 SNFs already using Connect to enhance Reimbursement-compliance and reduce MDS administration time by up to 50%. The SNF-Economy is changing quickly. "Get Connected" today.

Is #pharma engaging effectively where it truly matters? As patient advocates and healthcare professionals, we must recognize that these disparities require us to look beyond generic strategies. Communities vary widely in their healthcare needs and the barriers they face. It’s essential that our efforts are not just well-intentioned, but strategically targeted to address these specific challenges. A recent Commonwealth Fund report ranks Alabama 44th in health system performance, underscoring significant disparities not just between racial and ethnic groups, but across various communities faced with systemic barriers. This includes challenges like insurance coverage gaps, high healthcare costs, and a critical shortage of local healthcare resources. Are our healthcare policies and practices designed to address the unique needs of each community? #HealthcareDisparities #PatientAdvocacy #HealthcareReform #PublicHealth
