What you'll learn in Session 1

A complete breakdown of all four Medicare parts — what they cover, where the gaps are, and what your patients don't know that costs them (and your facility) time and money.

A

Hospital & facility coverage

Hospital stays, SNF, home health, hospice — and the observation status trap that catches patients off guard.

B

Medical insurance

Doctor visits, outpatient care, preventive services. The 20% coinsurance gap most patients don't budget for.

C

Medicare Advantage

How MA plans differ from Original Medicare. Network restrictions, prior authorizations, and what happens at discharge.

D

Prescription drug coverage

The 4 coverage phases, the donut hole, and why patients hit maximum out-of-pocket faster than they expect.

Real-world case study

Case file — SNF admission

Mrs. J's SNF denial — what went wrong

A patient admitted to a SNF after a hospital stay. The bill: $200/day. Weeks into her stay, the family discovered she'd been on observation status — never formally admitted. Medicare Part A denied the entire SNF claim. The family owed thousands.

This case study walks through exactly where the breakdown happened, what the discharge team could have caught, and how to prevent it from happening to your patients.

Key takeaway: Observation status is the #1 Medicare trap for SNF admissions. Your team needs to catch it before the patient arrives at your door.
