The Australian National Aged Care Classification system (AN-ACC) is designed to increase funding for residential care to meet the needs of Residents and ensure the long-term financial viability of Providers.
Our research indicates a significant number of the initial AN-ACC assessments do not reflect current acuity. Classifications may be inaccurate or outdated. We calculate the impact of inaccurate AN-ACC assessments could erode income by approximately 15%, a cost no Provider can afford.
In addition to impacting funding, AN-ACC inaccurate classification impacts the ability to provide the appropriate level of service delivery (care minutes) and a Provider’s star rating. Without a robust system for managing AN-ACC, Providers could be missing out on valuable funding.
We understand the complex nature of navigating the new funding system. Our AN-ACC Optimiser Services are designed to set you up for long-term success. Our team of AN-ACC specialists will work collaboratively to support your onsite team and build your internal capabilities to maximise AN-ACC revenue.
In our experience, reclassifications have resulted in an uplift of $34 per reclassified resident per day.
