With the removal of Section G last year, Section GG now plays a critical role in resident assessments, particularly in the anticipated Discharge Function Score. This hands-on bootcamp will equip participants with the knowledge and skills to properly code Section GG, ensuring accuracy and compliance. Attendees will learn through practical examples and CMS videos, gaining an in-depth understanding of how accurate coding directly impacts the discharge function score measure. Additionally, mastering Section GG coding will lead to improved accuracy in reimbursement for both Medicare and Medicaid payment systems. This session gives attendees a double advantage—better care for residents and a boost in financial performance!
