How does this improve reimbursement capture?

The 90-Day Leak Audit reconciles MDS sections (especially GG, I, and J), NTA comorbidities, ICD-10 specificity, and PDPM category capture against the claim before it bills. We surface coding gaps, late assessments, and missed comorbidities by resident, by payer — including managed Medicare. You see the dollars before Triple Check, not after the denial.

Will this help with denials and AR?

Yes. We pull RCM, clinical, and census data into one record so denial trends, days-in-AR, Medicaid pending, and managed-care exception patterns are visible weekly — not after month-end close. The audit quantifies the dollar value of preventable denials by payer and by root cause.

What about the federal staffing mandate, PBJ, and SNF VBP?

PBJ exposure and SNF VBP are two of the five leaks the audit measures. We pull PBJ submissions, payroll, scheduling, acuity, and quality-measure data into the same record so agency mix, PPD outliers, shift-coverage risk against internal staffing targets and state ratios, and SNF VBP exposure are visible before submission — not after a Five-Star or incentive-payment adjustment.

Will this improve Five-Star and survey readiness?

The audit maps your facility's F-tag trend patterns, QM trajectory, QAPI follow-through, infection-control clusters, falls-with-injury trends, pressure-injury staging, and PointRight® signals into one survey-readiness view. Expired certifications, late assessments, and clinical risk trends surface weekly — so the surveyor is not the first person to read the signal.

You do. SeniorCRE's MSA, EULA, and Data Licensing Addendum explicitly prohibit monetization of de-identified resident or claims data to third parties — full stop. If you elect to license aggregated data through our optional addendum, you receive a 70/30 revenue share. By default, your clinical and financial data is yours, portable on exit.

Who is this built for?

Regional and mid-market SNF operators running 5+ facilities — and mixed AL/MC + SNF portfolios. The audit and the operating record are tuned to PDPM, MDS, Five-Star, QM, PBJ, managed-care denials, SNF VBP, and survey-readiness workflows that AL-only operators do not face.

SeniorCRE® for Skilled Nursing Operators — governed authority for reimbursement, staffing, survey, and margin.

Skilled nursing operators do not need another dashboard. They need operator-controlled definitions, source authority, reconciliation, and lineage across clinical documentation, MDS, labor, RCM, compliance, quality measures, census, and financial performance. Operators can retain PCC®, MatrixCare®, and anything on the floor where they work, or select SeniorCRE to assume selected roles through written scope.

The five SNF leaks the 90-Day Leak Audit finds

Reimbursement Capture (PDPM / MDS / Triple Check): missed ICD-10 specificity, late assessments, NTA comorbidity capture, Section GG coding gaps, and managed-care authorization mismatches that Triple Check only catches after the claim has already billed. $220K–$680K per facility per year.

Denials & AR Drift: managed Medicare denials, Medicaid pending, Triple Check exceptions, and aged AR — visible in RCM but invisible to clinical and operations until the cash hits. $140K–$420K per facility per year.

Agency Labor & PBJ Exposure: agency mix, overtime drift, PPD outliers, and PBJ submission risk against internal staffing targets and state ratios (the federal 3.48 HPRD mandate was rescinded effective Feb 2, 2026). $180K–$520K per facility per year.

Survey & Five-Star Risk (QAPI · Infection · Falls · Wounds): late assessments, F-tag trend patterns, QM signals, QAPI follow-through, infection-control clusters, falls-with-injury trends, pressure-injury staging drift, and expired certifications. One bad survey = $50K–$2M plus a Five-Star drop.

Readmissions & SNF VBP: hospital readmission penalties and exposure to the FY 2027 SNF Value-Based Purchasing eight-measure scorecard — knowable seven days before the event when clinical, census, and discharge data live in the same record. $60K–$240K per facility per year.

Sits above PointClickCare®, MatrixCare®, AHT, PointRight®, and your RCM — not instead of them

Replacement is not required. Govern first. Replace only by choice. Nurses keep charting where they chart today, the MDS coordinator keeps the same workflow and the biller keeps the RCM. The operator declares which of those systems governs which definition for which purpose, and the record keeps that declaration with its reasoning and date. Reading from a third-party system is ROADMAP design intent; no such connection is live, connected or available, and no source vendor is named.

Operator-controlled data — not vendor-monetized

SeniorCRE's MSA, EULA, and Data Licensing Addendum contractually prohibit monetization of de-identified resident or claims data to third parties. Optional data-licensing addendum offers operators a 70/30 revenue share. By default, your clinical and financial data is yours, portable on exit.

Five executive governance outcomes

CEO: one governed operating context across accepted facility records. COO: visibility into operational breakdowns with definition, authority, reconciliation, and lineage. CFO: margin and cash-leakage hypotheses by facility, payer, and leak category against accepted evidence. DON / Clinical: survey, MDS, QM, QAPI, infection, falls, and wounds risk views bounded by validation status. Ownership: role-scoped asset-level intelligence for lenders, investors, and exit conversations.

Frequently asked questions

Do you replace PointClickCare® or MatrixCare®?: No. SeniorCRE sits above the SNF stack already in place — clinical, therapy, quality, scheduling and payroll systems — and the operator declares which of them governs which definition. Reading from a third-party system is ROADMAP design intent; no such connection is live, connected or available, and no source vendor is named. Your nurses, MDS coordinators, and billers keep working in the systems they already know. Leadership reads one operator-controlled record on top. Replacement is not required. Govern first. Replace only by choice.
