    • Post-Acute Care (PAC) facilities 

    • Payors

  • Built-in fax functionality that includes a PAC and payor database.

  • A more efficient Utilization Review (UR) process.

  • Streamlined appeal and denial process.

  • Aligning billing compliance with CMS guidelines.

  • Reducing / improving length of stay (LOS).

  • Setting the foundation for future digital communication. 

In-person training sessions will be held at most campuses to prepare impacted staff for this upcoming change. Managers will register staff for training in LMS. If this impacts you and you have not been registered for the following course, notify your manager:
