Experts, Clarification please! I have a stage 3 sacral pressure ulcer that healed 2 years ago, now I have a new redness on the sacrum, is it the same Stage 3? OR a new pressure ulcer. Thank you!

Can you clarify the use of the extra 100 days under the 1135 waiver. * Resident has exhausted her 100 days. *Just went out again for new pacemaker, can I use the extra 100 waiver without any covid dx? Separate question: * Do I do ...

Experts, Need some help with setting ARDs: Entry 3/14 DC to hospital 3/15 Interrupted stay Came back 3/17 THANK YOU

No dc on 3/15 with interrupted stay checked off then re-entry with an ARD of 3/21 ???? I'm so confused with rules

Thank you!

Experts, Need help on how to set an assessment with this unique scenario. 1. LTC resident got an authorization from Aetna Mcr to cover her recent Covid with symptoms. 2. Hospitalization was waived as per CMS guideline. 3. What a...

Experts, Can adding 6 days of restorative for a Med A patient affect an IPA? Not sure if it will increase reimbursement or at least stay on the same HIPPS payment without the 2% reduction. Thank you!

Experts, I have a resident with Aetna Managed Medicare, what assessments do I need to open. Biller needs a HIPPS code as she said AETNA adopted the PDPM rule. Thank again for all the help from these confusion ?

Hard to teach. I'll stay in my desk. Thanks.

I wish I can paste an image, but I did created an admission assessment and I have an icon that can calculate a PDPM and RUG at the same time on this assessment. So, I can create a 5D with a HIPPS, submit to biller and its ok to have an admission subm...

Since our United plans pay using PDPM, then I have to create an admission then a stand alone 5D with GG filled out, please confirm. Wouldn't it be fraud since I'm submitting a different information to CMS and I'm billing a different one?

rehab expects both of us to have the same HIPPS.

I can calculate it automatically in my system. Did not combine assessment. So, when I create a standalone 5D as you stated I should dash-out GG, but rehab factors it out to create their HIPPS.

Follow-up on this Ms. Talino: 1. Received a letter from United MCR plans that they will use PDPM rules for billing. 2. Rehab follows PDPM and sets more minutes. Rehab then bills on a higher rate. 3. Submitted an admission assessment to CMS and create...

Experts, For new PDPM requirement, I understand that Med A admission needs a 5 day, but do I still do an admission assessment to satisfy the OBRA schedule? If I do can I combine like before or I have to separate the assessment? Can I use...

Another follow-up with regard to setting ARD: If it is a Managed Medicare, do I separate admission from 5 day assessment? Or I can combine too?

Need some experts on this: 5D - 1/3 refused rehab starting 1/4 - HC1 started back again on 1/8 14D/COT - 1/14 as per rehab - RHA Where do I set the EOT-R, or I just check-off EOTR on section O? THANK YOU!

My biller is saying that I do not need the EOT because I got nursing RUGS. Not sure how to go about this. 5D - 1/3 - HC110 EOT-R - 1/4 - HC10A ---- not needed??? I think I need it to do the resumption. 14D/COT - 1/14 - HB12D 30D/COT - 1/28 - RVA3D

Chose 1/4 ARD for the EOT and added yes for resumption on 1/8. Thank you.

Can I use 7/28 5th day for SOT-ARD? It says 5-7 days for the ARD. It is also the end of PPS and she was seen that day. Will it apply in the scenario?

It turned out, it will only be an RM. How do I get paid for 5 days. See below. 14D --- 7/14 ARD - pays for 7/14 -- 7/20 - RVC20 EOT-R or EOT --- 7/23 ARD - 7/21 -- 7/23 - LD10A SOT??? --- what ARD to pay for - 7/24 - 7/28 - what rug payment? --- reh...
