The website includes a variety of educational and training resources to assist stakeholders in preparing for the PDPM implementation:

  • FAQs
  • Fact sheets
  • PDPM Training Presentation
  • Implementation tools (including PDPM GROUPER logic)

 

Additionally, CMS will host a SNF PPS – PDPM National Provider Call on Tuesday, December 11, 2018 from 1:30 – 3 pm ET. Topics on the call will include:

 

  • Overview of PDPM, a new case-mix classification system for SNF Part A beneficiaries
  • Changeover from RUG-IV to PDPM

 

For more information, review the FY 2019 SNF PPS final rule, and visit the PDPM webpage. A question and answer session follows the presentation; however, attendees may email questions in advance to PDPM@cms.hhs.gov with “December 11 Call” in the subject line. These questions may be addressed during the call or used for other materials following the call.
