Always focus on the higher CMI ARD will be 7 days after you started therapy includes evaluation date End of therapy (EOT-R) (2-47) 2 scenario's All therapy ends (planned) and will switch to a nursing RUG ARD is day 1-3 after all therapy ended No therapy provided for 3 consecutive days (includes weekends) for any reason ARD is day 1-3 after all therapy ended Will bill the nursing RUG for these days If therapy is restarted within 5 days of stopping, and at the same RUG level, note the day of resumption in section O Therapy RUG payment starts on the day therapy was resumed Change of therapy (COT) (2-49) Medicare ARD sets weekly review of RUG maintenance Includes: # of days of therapy Therapy minutes # of disciplines to get the RUG Medicare reimbursement policies If with your weekly review the RUG criteria is met, continue with routine weekly reviews If with your weekly review the RUG criteria is not met as noted above, need to do a change of therapy assessment ARD would be day 7 of your review Payment changes on the first day of the decline or increase in therapy services, ie back 7 days ARD of this assessment resets your weekly review dates 3
4 Combining scheduled and unscheduled assessments (2-51) If your weekly review date is within a window to complete a scheduled assessment you have the following options If the RUG will increase, combine the assessments The payment will start 7 days back If the RUG will decrease, do not combine the assessments Use the scheduled assessment Payment will begin the day after the ARD date Weekly therapy reviews Review of RUG maintenance Days of therapy for the RUG are met Minutes of therapy for the RUG are met Number of disciplines for the RUG are met Availability of therapy provision at least 6 days/week to make up for lost days instead of doing a COT Review the % of COT s being done-are you over the national average of 11% Short stays now looking at providing 7 days of therapy 4
5 SNF policy about Medicare participation Upon admission are you ensuring the Medicare criteria is center stage Residents need to be made aware in writing why they are being skilled If they choose not to participate daily for any reason, they could lose their Medicare stay Manage-beauty shop appointments that conflict with therapy, outings, activities, MD appointments, family visits Medicare future payments How much longer do you think CMS and managed care organizations are going to want to pay for therapy 7 days a week when it is only being provided 5 days??? 5
6 5 areas that can not be changed for Medicare Assessments Type of provider (A0200) Type of assessment (A0310) Entry date (A1600) on an entry tracking record Discharge date (A2000) on a discharge record ARD (A2300) CMS Discussion on this issue Providers have 14 days from the ARD date to complete a Medicare assessment and then an additional 14 days to transmit it Once it is transmitted and accepted, your options to make these changes are: Complete a new MDS (Medicare) and set the ARD for the date you found the error All data collected reflects this ARD lookback Would be coded for the type of assessment it should be Affect on payment If still on Medicare, you bill the default rate for the time up the ARD date of the new assessment or for the full payment period if past that date If not on Medicare, you can not bill for the time this MDS would have paid for Take away message Use those 28 days to ensure that the 5 areas are correct for Medicare residents prior to transmission or Review these 5 areas for accuracy prior to transmission.
