SimpleLTC has partnered with the American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordination (AANAC) and several leading Texas long-term care experts to create a pre-conference training workshop at AANAC’s upcoming 2013 Annual Conference in San Antonio.

The workshop, entitled, “Texas Medicaid Demystified: Mastering MDS, LTCMI & Medicaid Forms Processing while Maximizing Reimbursement Opportunities”, will take place the first afternoon of the May-2-4 event.

The 2.75-hour training session will provide an in-depth look at Medicaid billing and reporting in Texas, with insight into properly managing the MESAV, LTCMI, 3618/3619 and PASARR processes.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of Texas Medicaid forms processes and learn detailed strategies to eliminate inefficiencies, increase accuracy and improve their organizations’ overall view of resident MESAV data.

A panel of experts will present real-life examples and demonstrations of form creation and submission, highlight case studies from their own facilities and field attendee questions. Speakers currently scheduled are:

• Gail Harris, RN, BSN, RAC-CT, C-NE, Regional Nurse Consultant, Preferred Care Partners Management Group and AANAC Board Member
• Sherri Harris, RNC, RAC-CT, VP of Clinical Reimbursement, Senior Care Centers
• Jill Peugh, LVN, RAC-CT, C-NE, Reimbursement Specialist, Preferred Care Partners Management Group

This session is eligible for 2.5 continuing nursing education credits. Additional information about the session and conference registration are available on the AANAC website.
