Consulting services include regularly scheduled visits to provide routine reviews (or testing) of completed MDS assessments for optimization of the case mix RUG and or PPS / PDPM scores. Consulting guides in accurate MDS coding criteria, based on Medicare and Medicaid rules. Each visit is concluded by an exit meeting with the Administrator and DNS to go over the findings of the day.
As part of the Cornerstone Clinical Consulting program, facilities receive regularly scheduled visits wherein a Cornerstone clinician reviews clinical records and recently completed MDS assessments for optimal PDPM and RUG coding, based on RAI (resident assessment instrument) and State coding criteria.
