Training solutions designed specifically for Critical Access Hospitals and Rural Health Clinics
The need for access to safe and effective healthcare in all our rural communities is more important than ever. Critical access hospitals (CAHs) like yours serve all types of patients and emergencies, and you have unique challenges in doing so.
At HCPro, we are aware of the challenges CAHs face in terms of training staff, capturing deserved reimbursement, and staying current with regulations.

Instructor-Led Learning Opportunities
HCPro’s course materials are designed specifically for CAHs. Our team of regulatory experts has direct experience working with CAHs and has created training specifically for this setting. Based on recognized source authorities, your team will use the knowledge, resources, and strategies learned long after the course is over.
Our training offers:
- Medicare Boot Camp—CAH & RHC: This course prepares you to better manage your revenue cycle by focusing on guidance from CMS on Medicare coverage, coding, billing, and payment for CAHs. You’ll leave the class ready to make improvements that will strengthen reimbursement and compliance for your CAH. And afterward, your team will have the research tools and skills to answer Medicare questions long after the boot camp is over..
- Revenue Integrity & Chargemaster for CAHs: This class ties the chargemaster function to revenue cycle and revenue integrity functions, including cost reporting and key operational issues, such as coverage, clinical documentation, charge capture, and coding. Learn about chargemaster set-up and maintenance within the context of revenue integrity to help avoid pre- and post- billing edits and payer denials.
- Utilization Review for CAHs: This class focuses on the Medicare regulatory requirements for patient status and the role of the UR committee. It examines the unique sets of issues CAHs face related to UR, including the complexities of swing bed admissions. It also untangles the many changes CMS has made to the inpatient-only provisions and how what does and does not apply to CAHs.
