Quarterly Webinar: Medicare Documentation Requirements For Wound Care Residents

AMT collaborates with Medicare for educational webinar

AMT has partnered with Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractors (DME MACs), Noridian Healthcare Solutions and CGS Administrators, to host a live educational webinar covering Medicare’s documentation requirements for wound care residents.

Documentation is a critical component of resident care. To help ensure regulatory compliance regarding wound care provided, a facility should make sure their documentation meets or exceeds the requirements set forth by Medicare. This webinar is developed to help participants learn critical information that they can apply directly within their facilities.

Trina St. Ours - Education Consultant DME Outreach and Education with Noridian Healthcare Solutions along with Michael Hanna MPA, CDME - Provider Relations Senior Analyst with CGS Administrators will present their insights. This presentation will be focused on the long-term care facilities’ responsibilities in creating/maintaining the necessary documentation for reimbursement of surgical dressings and supplies. Emphasis and specific detail will be provided on preliminary orders, detailed written orders and the importance of thoroughly completed monthly/weekly evaluations. ​

Webinar registration is free and Continuing Education (CE) credits will be available for attendees of the live webinar.  A recorded version of the presentation will also be provided for those unable to attend the live event.
