A Competent Harmony Healthcare MMQ Professional (CHHI-MMQ) is an interdisciplinary team member who successfully completes this 1 Day intensive, clinically founded training, geared towards providing and documenting outstanding patient care while understanding regulatory requirements and reimbursement related to MMQ in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) setting. This program is interactive with a focus on practical application for the clinical staff and interdisciplinary team.
Massachusetts utilizes the Minutes Management Questionnaire (MMQ) to determine reimbursement rates for State Medicaid patients. Facilities struggle with ensuring documentation supports MMQ requirements in addition to MDS and Medicare requirements. Nearly 100% of the MMQs are audited on site by the MA State Case Mix Auditor. The expectation is that the entire chart (ADL flow sheets, Nursing Summaries, Nursing Assessments, Nursing and Discipline Specific Notes, Physician Orders, Care Plan, Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment etc.) supports all facets of the MMQ points scored on the MMQ rate sheet. If the audit identifies discrepancies, the facility payment is reduced (i.e., lesser points apply and the MMQ score is reduced accordingly). The speaker will review the major components of the MMQ for participants to gain an understanding of how to implement effective systems, strategies, and protocols to enhance the documentation, improve care planning and ensure accurate reimbursement.
