How does CMS reimbursement work for nursing services?
CMS reimbursement policies are critical for nursing services. Medicare and Medicaid reimburse healthcare providers based on specific criteria, such as the type of care provided and the patient's diagnosis. Nurses must document care accurately and thoroughly to ensure proper reimbursement. Various models, such as the Prospective Payment System (PPS), determine the amount of reimbursement for services provided.
