IRF PPS Proficiency Check: IGC and Etiology Pairings
Join us for an interactive webinar designed to reinforce and validate your knowledge of completing Section 21 (Impairment Group Codes) and Items 22a–c (Etiologic Diagnosis) on the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Patient Assessment Instrument (IRF-PAI).
Pre-Session Activity:
Before the live session, participants will complete a 30-minute proficiency assessment focused on accurately selecting the most appropriate Impairment Group Code (IGC) and ensuring correct etiologic diagnosis pairing. This activity is designed to highlight areas of strength and identify opportunities for further learning.
Live Webinar Highlights:
During the session, we’ll review the rationale behind each correct response from the assessment, guided by CMS’s official guidelines for accurate IRF-PAI documentation. This is a valuable opportunity to deepen your understanding and ensure compliance with best practices.
Learning Outcomes:
