1 Resource Utilization Groups (RUGs) September 2, 2009 Anthony M. Tucker, PhD Maryland LTC-PAC Workgroup
2 Resource Utilization Groups (RUGs) RUGs are mutually exclusive categories that reflect levels of resource need in long-term care settings, primarily to facilitate Medicare and Medicaid payment They are assigned to individuals based on data elements derived from the LTC Minimum Data Set (MDS) There is a standard order, or hierarchy, and each RUG is associated with relative weighting factors RUG assignments can be made on a hierarchical or an index-maximization basis -2-
3 Three Basic Sets of RUGs Hierarchical Level Major RUG Categories # of RUGs RUG 34 RUG 44 RUG 53 Rehabilitation & Extensive Services 9 1 Rehabilitation Services Extensive Services Rehabilitation Services 4 2 Special Care Clinically Complex Impaired Cognition Behavioral Reduced Physical Functions See Exhibit 1 for more detail.
4 Three Basic Sets of RUGs continued RUG 34: An initial set of RUGs developed primarily to support resource risk adjustment for Medicaid payment Reflects 7 major categories of care: Extensive Service (3); Rehabilitation (4); Special Care (3); Clinically Complex (6); Impaired Cognition (4); Behavioral only (4); and Reduced Physical Functioning (10) Relative risk weights for nursing care are based on state Medicaid data from an early demonstration sponsored by HCFA (now CMS) RUG assignments & weights are applied at the individual level, but the average relative risk of a facility s residents is typically used to adjust the nursing components of state Medicaid payment systems One exception: Texas Medicaid adjusts the RUG 34 relative risk weights to reflect local practice to establish person-level payments -4-
5 Three Basic Sets of RUGs continued RUG 44: An expanded version of RUG 34 that includes 14 Rehab RUGs and a new hierarchical order primarily to support Medicare prospective payments starting in 1998 Reflects 7 major categories of care: Rehabilitation (14); Extensive Service (3); Special Care (3); Clinically Complex (6); Impaired Cognition (4); Behavioral only (4); and Reduced Physical Functioning (10) Medicaid nursing weights were developed from additional state Medicaid data at the same time that the system was established (separately) for Medicare PPS payment The nursing weights are applied at the individual level (index-max), but the average facility-level relative risk is typically used to adjust the nursing components of state Medicaid payment systems -5-
6 Three Basic Sets of RUGs continued RUG 53: An expanded version of RUG 44 that includes 9 mixed Rehab & Extensive Service RUGs - used to support Medicare prospective payments since January 2006 Reflects 8 major categories of care: Rehab & Extensive Service (9); Rehab only (14); Extensive Service (3); Special Care (3); Clinically Complex (6); Impaired Cognition (4); Behavioral only (4); and Reduced Physical Functioning (10) CMS provides nursing and therapy weights that are used, along with other component factors, to establish person-level per diem payments for skilled nursing facility (SNF) care under Medicare Not appropriate for Medicaid payment systems -6-
7 RUG Assignments are Based on the LTC Minimum Data Set (MDS) The MDS is a core set of screening, clinical, and functional status elements reported on all residents of nursing facilities certified to participate in Medicare and/or Medicaid regardless of payor. Primary uses (aside from RUG assignment for payment): Provides a structure for the collection, organization, analysis, and reporting of resident assessment data to support patient care Supports Resident Assessment Protocols, in particular Helps to monitor quality of care -7-
8 MDS continued: Two Reporting Schedules OBRA (Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act 1987) requires: Comprehensive assessment for all residents within 14 days of admission Quarterly assessment thereafter (within 92 days) - States can use abbreviated reporting, which does not support RUG assignments (Maryland uses abbreviated reporting) Annual full assessment (within 366 days of prior full assessment) Medicare requires (to support SNF payments as of October 1998): 5-day, 14-day, 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day assessments Both schedules apply but one assessment can be used to meet both requirements -8-
9 MDS continued: Bottom line MDS was initially developed as a protocol to support patient care and quality assessment MDS reporting intensified with its use to facilitate RUGbased payment systems under Medicare and Medicaid It is increasingly used as the basis for quality assessment at the facility level including revisions underway to streamline reporting and better reflect patient concerns Maryland s current quarterly reporting requirements do not include all the data elements needed to support RUG assignments for Medicaid payment -9-
10 Hilltop-Refined MDS Data Hilltop has developed procedures to clean up, or refine, raw MDS assessment data so that they can more readily be used to examine patterns of care Assessments are linked at the person level to define discrete and extended stays A DISCRETE STAY includes contiguous days from first evidence of admission to discharge in a single facility. An EXTENDED STAY includes 1 or more discrete stays with some maximum allowed gap between discrete stays, with or without reference to change in nursing facility. We use a 30-day maximum gap with no reference to change in nursing facility. -10-
11 Hilltop-Refined MDS Data continued Medicare coverage is determined using MDS tracking variables. All days associated with a given stay are defined as either Medicare or Non-Medicare. Some stays include both Medicare and Non-Medicare days. Medicare coverage suggests Medicare payment. Medicaid status is established by linking eligibility dates for FULL Medicaid benefits to the refined stay information. Medicaid status only suggests Medicaid payment for Non-Medicare days. -11-
