MEDICAL DIRECTORSHIP ENGAGEMENT & COMPLIANCE
Financial transactions with physicians are one of — if not the most — high-risk areas for any healthcare provider. CareAscendium keeps medical director engagement fully documented, contract-compliant, and audit-ready, from the first logged task all the way to your quarterly CMS PBJ submission.
Why every SNF needs this
Every Medicare- and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facility is federally required to designate a Medical Director responsible for resident care policies and the coordination of medical care (42 CFR Section 483.70(h), surveyed under F-tag F841). Facilities must prove that the medical director is genuinely engaged — and that every dollar paid reflects fair market value, a written contract, and documented services, as required under the Anti-Kickback Statute and Stark Law. CareAscendium satisfies both obligations seamlessly.
