Research conducted by AHCA/NCAL earlier this year shows that SNFs that employ at least one American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Board certified RN also, on average, performed higher on SNF VBP performance. The net result is that these SNFs get higher Medicare Part A reimbursements. 

The AHCA/NCAL 2019 research also found that SNFs with at least one ANCC Board certified RN also experienced:

• Fewer survey deficiencies
• Fewer IJ citations
• Lower rehospitalization rates
• Lower rates of off-label use of antipsychotics
• Higher CMS 5-Star ratings

To help RNs prepare for the certification exam, AHCA/NCAL offers an online course called Gero Nurse Prep. RNs who complete the course earn 30 nursing contact hours and experience a 96 percent pass rate on the ANCC certification exam on the first try.  Gero Nurse Prep students see a whopping 24 percent average increase between their pre- and post-test scores.

Gero Nurse Prep is flexible. RNs study online at their own pace and have one year from the time they enroll to complete their Gero Nurse Prep coursework. For RNs interested in pursuing Board certification through ANCC, there is an additional and separate cost of $395.
