Effective October 1, new PPS rules for fiscal year 2012 require nursing homes to diligently review claims prior to submission. As previously discussed, significant cuts in SNF reimbursement are aimed mostly at therapy services. SNFs submitting claims under the previous rules can expect high rates of denials and rejections. Even facilities billing under the new rules face denials and rejections for any errors or inconsistencies in the information submitted.
