What is the focus of the Medicare Boot Camp — Long-Term Care Version?
Medicare Boot Camp — Long-Term Care Version is an intensive, four-day course on Medicare coverage,
billing, coding and payment for long term care services, including skilled nursing facility (SNF) services
and Medicare Part B services provided to SNF residents. The course is technically oriented and focuses on
the specific Medicare regulations and guidelines applicable to long-term care services. The course is
taught using a combination of lecture, class discussion, and hands-on exercises/case studies. The

Medicare "rules" with a particular emphasis on the real-world application of those rules.

Does the course require any previous experience or training?
No. However, because of the fast-paced nature of the course, it is highly recommended (but not required)
that participants have at least one year of experience working in a long-term care setting. However, the
course starts with Medicare fundamentals and does not assume that participants have any particular
background or experience. Familiarity with the MDS and the ICD-9-CM and HCPCS coding systems is helpful,
but not required.
How is the course taught?
The course is taught using a combination of lecture, class discussion, and hands-on exercises/case
studies.

When you arrive at class, you will receive an extensive notebook of course materials. These binders
will contain all the materials needed for the training. Please ensure room in your luggage for the
return trip home.
