Medicare Management Training
BKD National Health Care Group has helped hundreds of skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) with operations and clinical consulting and Medicare billing. Our Medicare certification and management training program is tailored to SNF issues. Whether you have a Medicare program in place or are looking to become certified, educating your staff will reduce problems and help you and your patients receive the benefits to which you are entitled from proper management of Medicare.
Our five-session Medicare training program strives to help your facility achieve patient-centered management of Medicare through improving compliance, increasing knowledge of regulatory issues and reaching greater efficiency. We create a training environment that encourages employees and simplifies tasks while achieving improved compliance. Our five sessions are:
- Session One: How to Manage Medicare Within Guidelines and Federal Regulations
- Session Two: The Medicare Admission and Inquiry Process
- Session Three: Part A PPS
- Session Four: ICD-9 Coding and Nursing Documentation Guidelines
- Session Five: NEMB, ABN (Denial Process), Quality Assurance and Medical Review
Our team of experienced clinical and operational consultants here developed a SNF Medicare management training manual to support participants through the program and for use as a reference source on Medicare for years following the training. In addition to the manual, we provide CDs containing many sample electronic forms that serve as templates you can tailor for your facility.

I have used BKD at two different facilities for a full range of financial services. Their professionals have provided us with audit, tax, coding and billing and cost report services and have assisted us in operations management and revenue enhancement. Routinely, implementation of their recommendations had a positive influence on the financial outcomes of our programs.

Catholic Health Partners is an important client—that’s the clear message I get from BKD. From partner interaction to the hands-on involvement and accessibility of senior-level and other personnel, theirs is an adept team effort that works very well. They are highly responsive to our needs. I also appreciate the wide range of BKD services I can use for more complex business issues.

Last year our 60-bed facility census was low, there was no reimbursement and by December we were $100,000 in the red. This is when we hired BKD for the Medicare certification and training. The following fiscal year end we were $98,000 in the black and able to keep the facility running.
