Don't guess on Section GG
Ever stare at Section GG and wonder, "Am I even doing this right?"
Incorrectly scoring Section GG directly affects payment, audit exposure, and your peace of mind.
Here’s some ways to keep everything in line:
- Schedule a short GG huddle weekly.
(Nursing, therapy, and MDS all together.) - Agree on key definitions clearly.
(Start with tricky terms like "minimal" vs. "moderate assistance.") - Spot-check clinical notes vs. GG scores weekly.
(Catch mistakes early—protect your reimbursement and audit readiness.)
