  TOPIC:

  ICD-10-CM AND THE PDPM

  With the introduction of the Patient Driven Payment Model, the new Medicare payment structure, diagnostic coding with ICD-10-CM moves to the forefront as part of the calculator for payment assignment for PT/OT and the Non Therapy Ancillary (NTA).  Historically the actual ICD-10-CM code was not emphasized as the majority of diagnoses for calculating the RUG assignment were check-off items in Section I.  As of 10/1/19 that changes as the specific code will determine the Clinical Category for PT and OT, the comorbidity for ST and the points for the NTA.  It is very important that Assessment Coordinators and others understand how the codes are utilized, what the differences are between a principal diagnosis and a primary diagnosis; and the difference between the hospital primary diagnosis and the SNF primary diagnosis.  The goal of this presentation is to provide clarification on how the diagnostic codes are utilized for this purpose.

  21st Annual Conference Facing the Challenges

   

  There are many changes which impact the functioning of the the skilled nursing facility and the care of the residents being implemented by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).  The payment system, value based purchasing, quality measures, quality reporting program are just a few of these changes.   It is imperative that all participants in these services, but in particular the Assessment Coordinator, be educated in the various parameters of these programs, how they may impact the facility and residents and potential methods to implement these changes with as little negative impact as possible.  To this end PANAC is addressing many of these areas in the 21st Annual Conference being held at the Penn Stater in State College, PA.  Register now for this great educational opportunity.  Continuing Education Units will be provided.
