You are the finance manager in a long term care facility that is struggling to remain solvent. The facilitys administrator has hired a consultant to work with you to increase Medicaid reimbursement. The consultant recommends that you be more liberal in coding the severity of residents needs to justify greater reimbursement. The consultant tells you, everybody does it and, its an undetectable way to boost revenue.
