The Key to Compliance: Supporting “Reasonable and Necessary” Criteria for IRF Admissions

This live webinar will provide a focused overview of the five “reasonable and necessary” criteria CMS requires for each IRF admission. Participants will learn how to apply these criteria to support medical necessity and how to make sure each patient’s documentation clearly reflects the patient’s need for intensive rehabilitation. Strategies and real-world examples will highlight how to avoid common pitfalls and strengthen the IRF medical record.

By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

• Define the five “reasonable and necessary” criteria CMS requires for IRF admissions
