Was there a need for an IV? 0000278826 00000 n Explain the impact of the variable per diem rate in the NTA component and how it impacts PDPM payment. Either way, you must still also code the I0020B primary condition I0010 through I8000. hl Its important to comprehend more than just the basics of PDPM. In this fourth webinar of our six part series, learn which items on the MDS or Medicare claim will be used to determine the NTA score and its impact on payment. We know now that every diagnosis and condition counts. Incorporate NTA identification into the daily clinical meeting as it is ever important to identify when a change in condition or services takes place. For example, if the MDS Coordinator counts only two of the three comorbidities that a patient has, the CMI for NTA would be 0.96 instead of 1.34. It is highly advisable for MDS nurses to review each assessment to ensure that all skilled services are captured during the assessment period to maximize reimbursement rate for the facility based on the patients diagnosis and acuity. All about coding rehabilitation for joint replacements: Its important to know the reason for the joint replacement since coding a joint replacement due to a fracture is different than when a joint replacement is due to an elective surgery. Based on that, we can calculate the rate. Non-Therapy Ancillary (NTA) classification in PDPM is determined by the presence of certain conditions or the use of certain extensive services that were found to be correlated with increases in NTA costs for SNF patients. program for a limited time or on a short-time basis and must meet the following requirements: hospital insurance and have eligible days left to use during the benefit period. Learn More Resource PDPM Series Part 5: Assessment Requirements. For the Non-Therapy Ancillary Component, each diagnosis has a corresponding score which is multiplied to the federal NTA case mix index. Based on that, I have made you an extreme cheat sheet, that you should use with extreme caution. Prior to October 1, 2019, all SNFs which participate under the Medicare program are paid under the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Prospective Payment System (PPS) based primarily on the type and intensity of therapy services provided to the patients regardless of their acuity, unique characteristics, specific needs, or goals. A list of these specific retinopathy codes are in the SLP mapping file from CMS. NTA component receives 300% of the base per-diem rate for days 1-3 of a stay. No paper. PDPM Series Part 4: Non-Therapy Ancillaries Case Mix Groups. As mentioned earlier, these NTA comorbidities are reported (coded) throughout the MDS. The RUG-IV consists of two case-mix adjusted components: Therapy which is based on volume of services provided and nursing. The RUG-IV consists of two case-mix adjusted components: Therapy which is based on volume of services provided and nursing. The NTA component is an important component to capture and reimburse the facility for costly medications, services, and supplies needed to care for residents. %PDF-1.6 % Refer to RAI pages J37-J38 for more on coding J2100. PDPM MDS Items ! Specialties Hyperemesis Gravidarum: More Than Just Morning Sickness Pregnancy and nausea are terms used in unison with one another. What do I need to know? When RUG classification was used as the basis of reimbursement, all patients with different patient characteristics were classified in the same RUG level based on the volume and intensity of therapy services provided. This is to offset the high cost of medications and supplies that would be required to support the patient characteristics with these NTA conditions upon admission. The long-term care facilities have emerged not only as a permanent home for the elderly during their retirement or post-retirement years but as respite and recuperative facilities even for the younger patients. 0000005276 00000 n The NTA component score is based on the presence of certain comorbidities and/or the use of extensive services.

We earn 2 NTA points if Diabetes is coded in MDS item I2900. As a result, client facilities realize improved wound healing results, improved survey scores and NTA reimbursement under PDPM. Other SLP co-morbidities picked up from the grouper software include the checkboxes for I4300 (aphasia), I4500 (stroke/CVA/TIA), I4900 (hemiplegia/hemiparesis), I5500 (traumatic brain injury), O0100E2 (tracheostomy while a resident), and O0100F2 (ventilator/respirator while a resident). In summary, the NTA component is an important component to capture and reimburse the facility for costly medications and supplies that are needed to support patient characteristics. I0020 is also a gateway to the I0020B Primary Diagnosis code. Speaking of individual facilities, lets take a look at that as well. PDPM ICD10 Consulting Confidential 2019 A Native American-Owned business Page . As far as treating for late effects, such as weakness after an episode of pneumonia, you should obtain documentation from the physician or physician extender linking the late effects of the unsteady gait and weakness directly to the episode of pneumonia and that the pneumonia has a direct relationship to the current functional status and treatment. The decision to change the definition was because CMS believes that therapists, using their clinical judgment, will allow for more flexibility and that residents often benefit from the psychosocial aspects of group therapy. 66y% (Click either image to enlarge.). Not all NTAs are ICD-10 codes, some are MDS items. Preparedness for coding changes will be the key to a smooth transition. As under the previous RUG-IV model, the presence of an AIDS diagnosis continues to be identified through the SNFs entry of ICD-10-CM code B20 on the claim. requires an analytical mind and financial knowledge to determine the highest allowable reimbursement for the facility.

The correct coding for NTA will require a team effort and diligent review of coding and supporting documentation to ensure 100% accuracy. last. Refer to the PDPM Calculation Worksheet for more information. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) realizes that the cost impact of medications, at the time of admission, is extensive. One can see from the table above that if comorbidities are missed, the facility could possibly miss out on reimbursement. Verify coding, dont assume. (This isnt going to work well on mobile devices, FYI.). The categories impact a resident's case-mix classification. With the transition from Resource Utilization Group Version IV (RUG-IV) to the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM) on October 1, 2019, the MDS nurse requires an analytical mind and financial knowledge to determine the highest allowable reimbursement for the facility.
