FSNFC™ – Fellowship in Skilled Nursing Facility Coding
Advanced PDPM, MDS & SNF Coding Fellowship for Certified Medical Coders
Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) coding is one of the most complex and heavily audited segments of U.S. healthcare reimbursement. With the implementation of Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM), increased CMS scrutiny, frequent medical reviews, and post-payment audits, SNF coding errors now lead directly to payment reductions, recoupments, and compliance risk.
To address this critical industry need, PMBAUSA LLC proudly offers the FSNFC® – Fellowship in Skilled Nursing Facility Coding, a specialty-focused, advanced fellowship designed exclusively for certified and experienced medical coders who want to master SNF, PDPM, and MDS-driven coding with audit-ready accuracy.
This fellowship is not entry-level training. It is real-world SNF revenue protection education.
Why FSNFC™ – Fellowship in SNF Coding Is Essential Today
SNF coding has fundamentally changed. Traditional diagnosis-only coding is no longer enough. Today’s SNF coders must fully understand how clinical documentation, ICD-10-CM coding, MDS assessment, and PDPM payment components intersect.
Common causes of SNF revenue loss include:
Incorrect PDPM clinical category assignment
Inaccurate primary diagnosis selection
Mismatch between ICD-10-CM codes and MDS entries
Failure to capture NTA-qualifying conditions
Incomplete documentation supporting therapy and nursing needs
Poor understanding of UB-04 SNF billing rules
FSNFC™ trains coders to identify, prevent, and correct these errors before claims are submitted or audited.
Who Should Enroll in FSNFC™
This fellowship is ideal for:
CPC®, CCS®, CRC®, FIMC® certified coders
Skilled Nursing Facility coders and auditors
Long-Term Care (LTC) coding professionals
MDS coordinators and compliance analysts
Revenue integrity and utilization review teams
Coders transitioning into SNF / PDPM-specific roles
What You Will Learn in FSNFC™
Complete SNF & PDPM Coding Mastery
Participants will gain advanced expertise in:
PDPM payment structure and case-mix groups (CMGs)
Clinical category selection rules
ICD-10-CM sequencing for SNF claims
Primary diagnosis selection for PDPM
MDS 3.0 coding alignment
NTA (Non-Therapy Ancillary) condition capture
SLP, Nursing, PT/OT component impact
Therapy coding compliance and documentation
UB-04 billing for SNF Part A stays
Common SNF denial patterns and audit triggers
