Wednesday, January 21, 2026
2:00 to 3:00 pm EST

Who should attend?

This webinar is designed for skilled nursing facility (SNF) staff who

  • Work with NOMNCs
  • Support the appeals and discharge planning process

Webinar Description

Join us for a look at Acentra Health’s recent focus study on how Medicare Advantage (MA) plans use NOMNCs in SNFs. Our findings show that most NOMNCs are issued too early, leading to unnecessary appeals, care disruptions, and increased risk of decline or readmission.

During the webinar, we will:

  • Share key data
  • Outline common challenges such as weak care planning, limited documentation, and repeated appeals
  • Offer practical recommendations for improvement
