1 MEDICARE G-CODES Implementation of the Claims Based Data Collection on Therapy Services Rhonda Reininger, M.A., O.T.R, C.H.T. Rehab Compliance
2 WHY? Required by the Middle Class Tax and Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 CMS was required to implement beginning on January 1, 2013 a claims based data collection strategy designed to assist in reforming the Medicare payment system for outpatient therapy services The goal is to provide data on patient function during the course of therapy services in order to better understand patient condition and outcomes.
3 WHEN? Testing Period: G-Codes & Modifiers are being accepted on claims. Mandatory Reporting: Therapy claims that do not comply with reporting requirements will be denied.
4 HOW? Non-payable G-codes and severity modifiers will be used to provide information about the patient s functional status They will be used: o Outset of therapy episode of care (IE) o Specified points during treatment (at a minimum every 10 visits) o Discharge o When an eval or re-eval is billed o To end reporting of one functional limitation o To begin reporting of a different functional limitation
5 G-CODES There are 14 areas of functional limitation defined. Within each area, there are three G-codes. One for current status, one for projected goal status, one for discharge status Total = 42 new G-codes
6 EXAMPLE Mobility: Walking & Moving Around G8978 Mobility current status G8979 Mobility goal status G8980 Mobility D/C status
7 THERAPY FUNCTIONAL REPORTING G-CODES (SHORT DESCRIPTORS) Mobility: Walking & Moving Around G8978 Mobility current status G8979 Mobility goal status G8980 Mobility D/C status Changing & Maintaining Body Position G8981 Body pos current status G8982 Body pos goal status G8983 Body pos D/C status Carrying, Moving and Handling Objects G8984 Carry current status G8985 Carry goal status G8986 Carry D/C status Self-Care G8987 Self-care current status G8988 Self-care goal status G8989 Self-care D/C status Other PT/OT Primary G8990 Other PT/OT current status G8991 Other PT/OT goal status G8992 Other PT/OT D/C status Other PT/OT Subsequent G8993 Sub PT/OT current status G8994 Sub PT/OT goal status G8995 Sub PT/OT D/C status
8 DEFINITIONS OF G -CODE CATEGORIES Functional limitation as defined by the ICF encompasses both activity limitations and participation restrictions
9 MOBILITY: WALKING & MOVING AROUND Walking short or long distances, on different surfaces, around obstacles Crawling, climbing, running, jumping, swimming Moving around within the home, outside the home, using equipment Moving around using transportation, driving

12 SELF-CARE Washing and drying oneself Caring for skin, teeth, hair, nails Toileting Dressing putting on & off clothing, footwear Eating, drinking, looking after one s health
13 HOW TO CHOOSE? When the patient has more than one limitation, the therapist will need to determine which functional limitation is primary Most clinically relevant to a successful outcome for the patient The one that would yield the greatest functional progress The one that is the greatest priority for the patient
14 SEVERITY/COMPLEXITY MODIFIERS Modifier Impairment Limitation Restriction CH 0% impaired, limited or restricted CI At least 1% but less than 20% CJ At least 20% but less than 40% CK At least 40% but less than 60% CL At least 60% but less than 80% CM At least 80% but less than 100% CN 100%
15 GUIDELINES FOR SELECTION OF THE SEVERITY MODIFIER Use the severity modifier that reflects the score from a functional assessment tool or other performance measurement tool, as appropriate Use your clinical judgment in the assignment of the appropriate modifier. Although CMS has recommended the use of a tool, they are not requiring it Document in the medical record how you made your selection so the same process can be followed at succeeding assessment intervals
16 FUNCTIONAL MODIFIER CONVERSION CALCULATOR
17 STEP 1 STEP 2
18 GRID Functional Gait Assessment Score C Modifier 30 CH CI CJ CK 6-11 CL 3-5 CM 1-2 CN
19 G-CODE REQUIREMENTS Each reported functional G-code must also contain the following essential line of service information: Functional severity modifier in the range CH CN Therapy modifier indicating the discipline of the POC (GP, GO or GN) for PT, OT, and SLP services, respectively Date of the corresponding billable service Nominal charge
20 G-CODES REQUIREMENTS CON T In most circumstances, 2 G-Codes are required: For evaluations and progress reports: Current status and Goal status For Discharge note: Discharge Status and Goal status 3 G-Codes are required: When patient is seen for a one time visit
21 DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS The G-codes and severity modifiers used in functional reporting are also required to be documented in the patients medical records of therapy services at the time of each required reporting, on the same date of service.

25 AUDITS RECOMMENDED MR # Pt Name # of Visits (as of xx/xx/13) Evaluation Documentation: Functional codes and modifiers documented, and rationale for severity modifier documented in note, and agrees with note content. Circle One: Date of Service: Y N / / Progress Report (or Discharge) Documentation: Functional codes and modifiers documented, and rationale for severity modifier documented in note, and agrees with note content.
