[Webinar Recording] Texas: Start Your PDPM Engines
Final Prep for the Texas Reimbursement Shift
Don't get left at the starting line... gear up now for PDPM
Texas SNFs, are you ready for the PDPM green flag?
A major shift is coming to Texas Medicaid reimbursement, and the countdown is almost over. Join our LTC expert panel for a fast-paced, insight-packed webinar designed to prepare your facility for the move to the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM).
This isn’t a drill—it’s the final lap before a new reimbursement reality takes hold. Beginning Sept. 1, Texas Medicaid will adopt PDPM for skilled nursing facility reimbursement. For providers, this means:
- New documentation expectations
- Greater focus on resident characteristics
- Big changes in how therapy and nursing services impact payment
- Heightened OIG scrutiny – especially for respiratory therapy
Failing to prepare could mean costly delays or compliance risks. This webinar is your pre-race inspection, a chance to fine-tune systems, align your team, and ensure you’re ready for go-time.
What You’ll Learn
- Key Drivers: Understand the PDPM components that will carry the most financial weight under Texas Medicaid
- Strategic Planning: Build a “race plan” tailored to your resident mix and service delivery
- Compliance Pit Stop: Evaluate documentation and workflows for readiness
- Respiratory Therapy Readiness: Navigate risk areas and ensure audit protection
- HHSC Updates: Get the latest intel straight from policy experts
Who Should Attend?
- DONs/ADONs
- Nursing Home Administrators
- MDS Coordinators
- Therapy Directors
- Compliance and Billing Professionals
- Any team member responsible for Medicaid reimbursement
