Billing Services for Skilled Nursing Facilities

SNF revenue cycle is uniquely complex: PDPM-driven Medicare Part A reimbursement, concurrent Part B billing for therapy and ancillaries, Medicaid long-term care billing on a separate cadence, and managed care plans imposing payer-specific rules on top of everything. Afiablee delivers PDPM-aware coding and dual billing workflows that stabilize SNF cash flow.

PDPM Case-Mix Optimization

PDPM payment is driven by 5 case-mix components — PT, OT, SLP, Nursing and NTA — each derived from MDS coding. Under-capture of any component directly reduces the per-diem rate. We validate MDS-driven case-mix categories against clinical documentation.

  • MDS Section GG functional scoring validation
  • NTA comorbidity capture review
  • SLP-related comorbidity identification
  • Variable per diem (VPD) day tracking

Dual Part A and Part B Billing

While a resident is in a Part A stay, certain ancillary services may still bill Part B — and the rules around what's bundled vs. separately billable are exactly the kind of detail that creates revenue leakage when handled inconsistently.

  • Part A consolidated billing compliance
  • Part B billing for non-bundled services
  • Therapy minutes documentation alignment
  • Hospice-related billing exclusions

Long-Term Care AR Management

Medicaid LTC AR moves on monthly cycles with state-specific billing windows and patient-liability reconciliation. We manage state-by-state Medicaid follow-up plus managed-care plan AR on payer-specific cadence.

Operational Challenges We Solve

  • PDPM case-mix categories suppressed by MDS under-coding
  • Part A/B billing crosswire causing duplicate denials
  • Medicaid patient-liability reconciliation errors
  • Managed care plan authorization gaps mid-stay
  • Therapy minutes documentation insufficient for billed level
  • Triple-check meeting findings not reaching billing
