Common Challenges We Address

Inconsistent Assessments – Different staff members may record functional levels differently, creating gaps and errors.

Lack of Clear Protocols – Without a defined workflow, staff may overlook crucial documentation steps.

Frequent Claim Denials – Inaccurate or incomplete coding can lead to rejected claims or reduced reimbursements.

Survey Citations – Failure to demonstrate proper Section GG practices can result in deficiencies during audits.

Why It Matters

Section GG isn’t just about payment—it’s a holistic snapshot of a resident’s functional abilities. When done right, it informs care plans, streamlines communication among staff, and helps justify the resources your facility provides. Getting Section GG right is a powerful way to ensure financial viability while maintaining resident-centered care.
