Course overview

(FACILITY MDS TEAM Early Bird Price ends 08/16/26. Reg. Price: $1850.) ENSURE the BEST PDPM rates before transmitting your MDS, while adhering to regulatory guidelines and supporting documentation. We're cross-walking PDPM VRACs, CMG, CMIs, FLI, comorbidities, function scores and more to the actual MDS Sections and real-life care provided to that resident, to obtain optimal reimbursement while ensuring supporting documentation and regulatory compliance! 8.0 CE's reported to CE Broker for applicable boards. LIVE Virtual with Live Q/A! Facility Registration (recommended) incorporates your entire MDS Team! The Facility Registration covers up to 10 registrants and each registrant must be an active employee working at your facility, preferably your 1) MDS Coordinator; 2) NHA; 3) DON; 4) Social Services (MDS Sections C, D, E, Q); 5) Dietary Manager (Section K): 6) Wound Nurse (Section M); 7 - 9) Therapy Dept (PT, OT, SLP); and 10) Unit Manager. Facilities and corporations cannot share or combine employees. If you have less employees, choose the Individual Rate registration. Facility Registration is limited to first come, first served. Each Registrant will receive a Certificate of Completion after the course, and 8.0 CEs are included and entered into CE Broker by Not Afraid CEUs for each licensee of approved licensing boards.)

Day 1 is Wednesday, 09/02/26 from 12:30 PM EST - 4:30 PM EST, and Day 2 is Thursday 09/03/26,from 12:30 PM EST - 4:30 PM EST. You just log back in right here each day to join the live. Live Q/A included.
And unlike other courses, Not Afraid includes an optional Follow-up live virtual Q/A for this course at no additional charge (from 12:30 PM EST to 4:30 PM EST on Wednesday, 09/16/26.) So after you've had the opportunity to put your new knowledge into practice, you can come back with any questions or quirks.. Registrants will receive the virtual Follow-Up information during the course, and instructions for submitting your questions prior to the Follow-Up so we can cover every question. You can also submit your questions prior to the Follow-up via the included instructions.
This is REAL active-participant training; no more sitting idly by on virtual training doodling because the entire training is just pushing out some generic information, with no opportunity for you to assess your learning-by-doing during the course. Certificates of Completion (and Board-Approved CE's where applicable) awarded to each registrant!

We are Actively Cross-walking with you the PDPM MDS VRACs, CMGs, CMIs, and Function Scores to Actual MDS completion and real-live Care services you provide to each resident, to obtain the highest reimbursement and know your rates before you submit that MDS to CMS while strictly adhering to regulatory guidelines. Case studies will be completed. Fun and dynamic learning scheduled to allow you to complete your daily meetings and work first, then sit down with a blank MDS form, pen, and note paper ready to work the case studies and take notes! There is an individual registration for your MDS Coordinator, and a Facility "Team MDS" registration that covers the ten people of your MDS PDPM Team.

Trish is a RN and certified MDS Coordinator who brings the very rare and unique knowledge of BOTH sides of the reimbursement coin! 1) she has worked for the CMS RACS/MACs and private insurance as a RN auditor performing concurrent and retrospective medical necessity and medical record documentation reviews to determine if CMS or insurance overpaid and needs to claw back/recover that money, and never had one of her determinations overturned even if the facility appealed, and 2) is a certified MDS Coordinator who has substantially increased PDPM reimbursement for each resident while adhering strictly to regulatory guidelines. She invented the "FLI" (Front Load Initiative) to capture the highest reimbursement available for residents on the front end, going way beyond mundane "check-the-box" PPS meetings to continuously identify opportunities to increase reimbursement with supporting documentation, because increased reimbursement means increased opportunities to meet the resident's needs!

In addition to MDS Coordinator and consulting, she has also worked in LTC and associated entities as a multi-facility QRRAD Consultant (Quality, Regulatory, Risk, Accreditation, and Documentation); DON in multiple states; ADON; Wound Nurse; Risk Manager; Staff Developer; Unit Manager, Staff/Floor Nurse; Hospice QAPI Director; Home Health Admissions; and obtained certifications in addition to CMAC (Certified MDS Coordinator) as a certified ALF and AFCH Administrator; and Certified Quality and Risk Management Specialist-LTC. In other words, she's worked every position in LTC, and brings that enhanced practice knowledge to this training.

This course is offered in two components to allow you adequate time to complete your work each day, and then sit down with a blank MDS, pad and pen, and course outline READY to enhance resident care by obtaining the highest reimbursement for the services you provide. You can purchase the 1) individual Registration, or 2) Facility Registration (recommended) to incorporate your entire MDS Team! The Facility Registration covers up to 8 registrants, preferably your 1) MDS Coordinator; 2) NHA; 3) DON; 4) Social Services (MDS Sections C, D, E, Q); 5) Dietary Manager (Section K): 6) Wound Nurse (Section M); 7 - 9) Therapy Dept (PT, OT, SLP); and 10) Unit Manager.
