MDS RN Coordinator RAC-CF

I have Thirty-Five years of progressive experience in long term care. I am a seasoned MDS Coordinator and /or Director with over 15 plus years experience in MDS for Profit and Non-Profit facilities. I am knowledgeable in Medicare with emphasis in Reimbursement maximization, Managed Care, and Case Mix for the State of Illinois. I work closely with the Therapy and Financial Directors to monitor therapy progress for maximal RUG re-imbursement and stress the importance of any signs of Mood or Behavior issues which can increase Rug re-imbursement. As the MDS Director or Coordinator I work closely with the IDT to educate on compliance issues and updates to MDS and Medicare as they are available. I have remained Tag free for MDS and Care Plans during surveys since 1991 focusing on the accuracy of the MDS through the full RAI process.
