‘Medicare is Being Privatized’: Why Medicare Advantage May Make PDPM Irrelevant for Nursing Homes

The linked article from Skilled Nursing News addresses the growth of Medicare Advantage and the impact it will have on PDPM which has been a major focus of long term care providers over the past two years.  As Medicare Advantage continues to grow, providers will need to make sure their service delivery models and revenue cycle management is prepared for operating in a managed care environment.

LeadingAge Washington and its members are preparing for this growth in Medicare Advantage through the establishment of the LeadingCare Network NW, a managed care network of LeadingAge Washington members who have come together to leverage their quality to have meaningful conversations with Medicare Advantage plans, and other payors about contractual relationships.  LeadingCare Network NW provides the support to network members to succeed in a managed care environment.
