Scavotto and C. Anderson reviewed pending changes in the
Medicare RUGs system and in the IPA reimbursement methodology. As a direct
consequence, DCRNC will be moving its restorative therapy program from Rehab out
to the nursing units. The goal is to capture better documentation earlier and to
improve the resident’s restorative experience. There was discussion about our
role in the Medicare D program. The critical issue for DCRNC is to select a
pharmacy provider that services all of the plans operating in our area. From a
practical standpoint, this will be either Alliance or Omnicare, our current
provider. We will be assisting our residents in their selection of a drug
benefit plan. November 16, 2005
Meeting adjourned at 7:50AM. (motion Tobias, second Dubin)
