From 8 Hours to Minutes: Simplify Your Medicare & Medicaid Reporting. Ditch the spreadsheets. Get audit-ready in minutes not days.
The Hidden Stress No One Talks About
For senior care leaders, the job isn’t just about operations. It’s about accountability. Compliance. Audits. Reports must be right—because a missed number can cost you time, money, and credibility.
Maria Stockton, Sr. VP of Revenue Cycle Management at Beacon Health Management:
“The Medicare and Medicaid Resident Days reports used to be a completely manual, time-consuming process for me.”
It wasn’t just frustrating, it was draining. Every year, the pressure mounted as deadlines approached. One report could take 8 hours, or more, each year, and it had to be perfect. There was no streamlined way to complete these reports—just spreadsheets, copy-paste chaos, and hope.
The Breaking Point
If you’ve ever worked late to finish a cost report, questioned your own formulas, or felt the pit in your stomach when an auditor requests backup—this story is for you.
“These reports are required for annual cost reporting and audits, so accuracy and timeliness are critical.”
This finance leader wasn’t failing. She was doing everything right—but the system was broken. Manually gathering data, cross-checking sources, and formatting for audit readiness wasn’t just inefficient… it was unsustainable.
The Turning Point: Finding Relief with CareWork
Enter CareWork.
Instead of another spreadsheet, CareWork offered something revolutionary: a built-in, automated Medicare and Medicaid Resident Days report, generated in minutes—without stress, second-guessing, or manual work.
“CareWork built them right into the platform, and now something that used to take me 8 hours or more is done in minutes.”
Suddenly, what felt like a mountain became a quick task.
The Outcome: Time, Trust, and Peace of Mind
Since switching to CareWork, she’s saved hours of labor, reduced audit risk, and finally found confidence in her data.
“The data is audit-ready, reliable, and one less thing I have to stress about.”
Go from report burnout to back in control. From worried to audit-ready. You’re not alone.
