The session will discuss the various arrangements for the completion of the UAS, including internal staff or LHCSAs nurses as well as highlighting the positives and risks of each arrangement. We will discuss the UAS items that are most frequently miscoded and the potential impact to the RUG reimbursement. Examples of how ALPS may track the assessment and payment flow will be discussed so that participants can develop their internal monitoring activity. Objective of Session: At the conclusion of the session, participants will have an understanding of the value of the UAS process and how to evaluate and monitor their own Assessment process.
