概要
In this episode of AHCC Talk, we break down what Medicare expects when it comes to medical necessity at recertification — and where agencies most often fall short.
Host Jan Milliman, HCS-D is joined by Lisa McClammy, BSN, RN, COS-C, HCS-D, HCS-O, Senior Clinical Education Consultant at MAC Legacy, to discuss:
- What documentation must show to justify continued skilled care
- Key elements that support recertification and homebound status
- Common documentation gaps that put agencies at risk
- Practical examples of when skilled services are — and are not — reasonable and necessary
- How progress to goals, functional status, and risk factors support compliance
This episode also features a Scenario Spotlight focused on OASIS M1033.1 - History of Falls, helping listeners apply guidance to real-world documentation decisions.
