    Skilled Documentation clearly explains why the services performed required the expertise.

    Definition

    Skilled Documentation clearly explains why the services performed required the expertise of a licensed healthcare professional rather than unskilled or custodial care.

    Why it matters

    Medicare reimburses only medically necessary skilled services. Proper documentation supports both payment and audit readiness.
