Medicare Boot Camp®—Utilization Review Version (BLR)


Course Overview


Master Medicare rules for utilization review

Medicare Boot Camp®—Utilization Review Version is an intensive two-day course focusing on the Medicare regulatory requirements for patient status and the role of the utilization review (UR) committee.

Managing patient status plays a critical role in proper compliance, correct reimbursement, and stabilizing inpatient payments for the hospital. In 2020, CMS made significant changes to the inpatient-only list and continues to change its strategies for auditing patient status. Don’t become a target or leave money on the table—ensure the UR committee is ready to implement and leverage the regulatory requirements.

Medicare Boot Camp—Utilization Review Version also answers all your questions about navigating the CMS website and finding Medicare requirements. You will be able to find answers to your questions long after the Boot Camp is over.


You will leave this program knowing:


How to apply the 2-midnight benchmark and 2-midnight presumptions
Implement changes to the inpatient-only list for 2020 
The differences between post-discharge versus concurrent patient status reviews
When self-denial is appropriate to take advantage of Part B payment for an inpatient case
How NCDs, LCDs, and coverage with evidence development (CED) affect coverage of cases that meet the 2-midnight benchmark
The observation coverage rules and how they interact with the 2-midnight benchmark
When ABNs and HINNs should be used for stays that don’t meet medical necessity requirements
