Webinar Overview:
CAHs hospitals must comply with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' CoP for Critical Access Hospitals. The CMS regulations and interpretive guidelines serve as the basis for determining compliance and this manual will be discussed in detail as well as the many new changes. Attendees will learn details about the CoPs and what to do when a surveyor arrives at your facility. Every section on the CAH hospital manual will be covered in this three part webinar.
Did you know that about a third of the CMS critical access manual has been rewritten? CMS issued an advanced 93 page memo on January 30, 2015 which discussed these changes. CMS issued a final manual on April 7, 2015 implementing all of these significant and numerous changes. This three part program will include information on the entire 270 page manual.
