Get clear guidance on what PDPM now expects from respiratory therapy — and how to protect the dollars you’ve earned.
Respiratory Therapy in the PDPM Spotlight
What’s Changing — and Why It Matters to Your Bottom Line
Respiratory therapy has long been viewed as a clinical service. Under PDPM, it’s also becoming a reimbursement, compliance, and audit issue.
As states adopt or expand PDPM Medicaid models, expectations around respiratory therapy documentation, nursing competency, and oversight are changing. Providers everywhere are asking the same questions:
What does PDPM actually require? How are respiratory programs reviewed? And how do we keep the dollars we’ve earned?
Join us as industry experts walk through how respiratory therapy fits into PDPM today — and where expectations are headed.
We’ll connect clinical best practices, documentation, and reimbursement realities to help teams understand how respiratory therapy affects survey readiness and financial outcomes.
What you’ll learn:
How respiratory therapy is evaluated under PDPM
Why documentation and nursing competency matter for reimbursement defense
Where RT programs are most vulnerable during audits and medical review
How PDPM expectations are shifting across states
