As SNFs continue to struggle with sluggish occupancy and workforce challenges, ensuring that every dollar earned for care delivery is retained is imperative.

• A solid Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) function in your company and buildings is a solid building block for financial stability.
• AHCA’s RCM Academy provides a grounding in RCM and AHCA can help you understand your RCM options in terms of in-depth, ongoing support. 

AHCA’s online training, Revenue Cycle Management Academy, takes a holistic interdisciplinary approach toward skilled nursing facility (SNF) revenue management.

• RCM Academy helps develop concrete strategies to secure earned dollars and to “stay paid.” 
• SNF business office managers and accountants should fully understand the differences among payors and how best to ensure payments from each. RCM Academy helps build that knowledge.

Who should participate: AHCA also recommends that all SNF administrators, assistant administrators, DONs, ADONs, MDS coordinators, and admissions staff enroll in RCM Academy too for a team approach toward reimbursement. Flexible 2022 “AHCA Member-Only” pricing options for RCM Academy include:
