Foster continuously reads the patient chart to surface missed reimbursement before the ARD closes, catch claim errors before submission, and prepare denial evidence automatically.
A patient's chart has the diagnosis, wound care, therapy, and documentation to support the right reimbursement. But no one has time to catch every driver before the MDS closes or the claim goes out. So the facility gets paid less than it earned.
Many SNFs lose $400K+ a year this way. Not from bad care. Not from fraud. From a reimbursement process complex enough to leak revenue at every step.
Every PDPM uplift, billing correction, and denial recovery is attributed to the exact chart finding that produced it — and flows directly to your bottom line. Fixed cost base means every dollar captured is EBITDA.
No. MDS tools help coordinators complete assessments. Foster reads the chart first — surfacing what should be in the assessment before it's coded, then follows the claim downstream through billing and denial defense. The MDS is the starting point, not the whole product.
The opposite. Foster replaces hours of manual chart hunting with a prioritized worklist — each finding linked directly to the source note in PCC. Your coordinators spend less time digging and more time on the judgment calls that require clinical expertise.
ADRs happen when billing doesn't match documentation. Foster only surfaces drivers already supported in the chart — every recommendation includes the clinical evidence attached. That alignment reduces audit risk. And if an ADR does come, the response packet is assembled automatically from the same chart evidence Foster already pulled.
Read-only. Foster connects to PointClickCare via a read-only integration — we never write to your EHR or alter any records. Setup requires no IT project and no PCC replacement. We execute a BAA before accessing any patient data and comply fully with HIPAA requirements.
Foster's clinical AI is built on the RAI Manual and trained alongside experienced MDS nurses — every recommendation includes a direct deep-link to the exact source note in PCC that supports it. The physician order, therapy doc, or nursing entry is right there. Your coordinator verifies in one click before accepting anything. Nothing is a black box.
Foster doesn't treat every documentation gap as a billable opportunity. Every recommendation runs through clinical validation against the RAI Manual, cross-referencing the full chart before anything surfaces to your team. High-confidence cases move to action; borderline cases go to review — with the supporting evidence already assembled so your coordinator makes the call, not the AI. Nothing is auto-submitted.
The free diagnostic produces findings within days of read-only access being granted. Once live, Foster surfaces missed drivers on active admissions immediately. Most facilities see their first attributable recovery within the first billing cycle.
