2026 Reimbursement Day - Maximizing Reimbursement: Coding, Documentation and Audit Readiness

November 16, 2026 - Quest Conference Center - 9200 Worthington Rd., Ste 400 Westerville, OH

Capturing reimbursement is only part of the equation. Today's reimbursement environment requires facilities to accurately capture resident acuity while ensuring every coding decision is supported by documentation that can withstand Medicare, Medicaid, and contractor review. 
 
This full-day workshop goes beyond coding rules to explore the complete reimbursement lifecycle, fromidentifying legitimate reimbursement opportunities to building the documentation, interdisciplinary processes, and compliance practices necessary to support those decisions during audits. Participants will review advanced PDPM coding strategies, reimbursement optimization techniques, common compliance vulnerabilities, and practical approaches for successfully navigating medical reviews, CGS audits, and other reimbursement validation processes. Through real-world case studies, interactive coding scenarios, audit examples, and documentation best practices, attendees will leave with practical tools to maximize reimbursement, reduce compliance risk, and confidently defend the care they provide. 

Learning Objectives:

• Describe advanced PDPM coding, documentation, and interdisciplinary practices that support accurate reimbursement and regulatory compliance.
• Discuss common reimbursement compliance risks, audit vulnerabilities, and strategies to strengthen documentation and prepare for Medicare, Medicaid, and contractor reviews.
• Identify opportunities to optimize, protect, and defend reimbursement through accurate MDS coding, compliant documentation, and effective audit response practices.
