Will PDPM Medicaid Sink Your Facility? What You Need to Know Before You Fall Behind the Curve

The clock is ticking. With the mandatory transition to PDPM Medicaid coming October 1st, many providers are still unprepared—and it’s already impacting their margins.

In this episode, Melissa Brown is joined by Melissa Keiter, MDS expert and Lead Consultant for Nursing Services at Gravity Consulting, to break down the real-world implications of this sweeping policy shift. From reimbursement cuts to team readiness, they explore why relying on therapy-driven documentation is no longer enough—and what nursing homes must do to avoid sinking under PDPM Medicaid.

You’ll learn:

• Why some facilities are already losing $5–$15 per patient per day
• How Section GG impacts your bottom line—and why nurse aides hold the key
• What to do if your state is including therapy in the Medicaid rate
• Tactical strategies for nursing-only states
• How to prepare your entire care team—from dietitians to social workers

This is part one of a two-part series. Don’t miss this critical conversation designed to help you protect your CMI and stay financially afloat during the transition.
