Parenteral Nutrition Workshop: Soup to Nuts-From Referral to Payment

Parenteral nutrition (PN) patients are some of the most complex patients we see, from clinical and nursing management to successful payment for a therapy whose costs continue to increase. This portion of our interactive workshop will focus on surviving the PN referral. From what is needed for medical record documentation to audits and denials, this program will engage the audience in the process from beginning to end and how to be successful in the comprehensive management of this patient population.
