Coverage Requirements
For a beneficiary to be covered in a SNF under Medicare Part A, he or she must:
• Have a 3 day qualifying hospital stay:
Have received inpatient hospital care for at least three consecutive days, (3 midnight rule) including the date of admission but not the date of discharge;
Be admitted to the SNF within a specified time period (generally, within 30 days) of that hospital discharge;
![Page 3: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Coverage Requirements continued….
Need post-hospital extended care services for a condition that was treated during the qualifying hospital stay or for a condition that arose while he or she was in the SNF for treatment of a condition which was previously treated during the qualifying hospital stay;
Have a physician or other qualified practitioner certify that he or she requires skilled services on a daily basis that, as a practical matter, can only be provided in a SNF on an inpatient basis;
![Page 4: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Coverage Requirements continued….
• Require skilled nursing or rehabilitation services which means that services are ordered by a physician, require the skills of technical or professional personnel, and are furnished directly by, or under the supervision of, such personnel;
• Be admitted to a Medicare-certified SNF; and
Require services that are reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of his or her condition (i.e., are consistent with the nature and severity of the individual’s illness or impairment, the individual’s particular medical needs, and accepted standards of medical practice).
![Page 5: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Skilled Services
• Require the skills of qualified technical or professional health personnel such as registered nurses, licensed practical (vocational) nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists or audiologists; and
• Must be provided directly by or under the general supervision of these skilled
nursing or skilled rehabilitation personnel to assure the safety of the patient and to achieve the medically desired result.
• Must be furnished based on a physician’s order
![Page 6: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How can I determine if a service is
considered “Skilled”
• If the inherent complexity of a service prescribed for a patient is such that it can be performed safely and/or effectively only by or under the general supervision of skilled nursing or skilled rehabilitation personnel, the service is a skilled service;
• For Example: the administration of intravenous feedings and intramuscular injections; the insertion of suprapubic catheters; and ultrasound, shortwave, and microwave therapy treatments.
![Page 7: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Rehab Services
• When rehabilitation services are the primary services, the key issue is whether the skills of a therapist are needed. The deciding factor is not the patient’s potential for recovery, but whether the services needed require the skills of a therapist or whether they can be provided by non-skilled personnel.
![Page 8: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Examples of Non-Skilled Services
• General maintenance care of colostomy and ileostomy;
• Routine services to maintain satisfactory functioning of indwelling bladder catheters (this would include emptying and cleaning containers and clamping the tubing);
• Changes of dressings for uninfected post-operative or chronic conditions;
• Prophylactic and palliative skin care, including bathing and application of
creams, or treatment of minor skin problems;
• Routine care of the incontinent patient, including use of diapers and protective sheets;

“Midnight Rule”
• excerpted from chapter 3 of the Benefit Policy Manual at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/manuals/102_policy/bp102c03.pdf
• BPM, CHAPTER 3
20.1 - Counting Inpatient Days
(Rev. 1, 10-01-03)
A3-3103.1, A3-3104.3, A3-3135.1, HO-217.3, HO-216.1, SNF-242.1
The number of days of care charged to a beneficiary for inpatient hospital or skilled nursing facility (SNF) care services is always in units of full days. A day begins at midnight and ends 24 hours later. The midnight-to-midnight method is to be used in counting days of care for Medicare reporting purposes even if the hospital or SNF uses a different definition of day for statistical or other purposes.
![Page 10: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“Midnight Rule”
• Excerpted from Medicare Claims processing manual chapter 6 section 30 - Billing SNF PPS Services
(Rev. 1472, Issued: 03-06-08, Effective: 05-23-07, Implementation: 04-07-08)
The day on which the patient began a leave of absence is treated as a day of discharge,
and is not counted as an inpatient day unless the patient returns to the facility by midnight
of the same day.
The day the patient returns to the hospital or SNF from a leave of absence is treated as a day of admission and is counted as an inpatient day if the patient is present at midnight of that day.
![Page 11: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Supporting Documentation
• Paints a picture of the Resident’s condition and services provided
• Provides legal, historical account of services
• Incomplete documentation may lead to denial of payment, and/or questions as to the quality of care provided
• Professional responsibility
• Legal requirement
• Record resident’s care
• Communication tool for the IDT
![Page 12: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Provide evidence of level of care
If resident is receiving therapy services
• Nursing documentation must describe resident’s level of activity with nursing staff, participation in therapy and reflect nursing activities that support rehab statements and goals
![Page 13: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Vulnerabilities
• Incomplete documentation (charting omissions)
• Unsigned physician orders
• Inaccurate documentation of indirect nursing services as this is not part of MDS information and can only be supported by nursing documentation
![Page 14: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Checklist
• Physician’s orders for services (signed and dated)
• Documentation of services rendered for dates of service billed
• Documentation to support medical necessity for services billed
![Page 15: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Certification
• The initial certification is completed on or prior to admission for Medicare coverage.
• Within 72 hours of admission;• On the day the physician visits the
resident and writes the first progress note;• On the Inter-facility Transfer form as an
alternative to completing the initial certification.
• The facility is responsible for obtaining timely and complete certification / re-certifications. • Re-certifications are due on or before the
14th day of admission, and every 30 days after that until coverage ends
![Page 16: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Authentication
• Medicare requires a legible identity for services provided / ordered.
• Signatures must be legible and include first and last name
• Signatures must be obtained prior to billing services to Medicare
• NO STAMPS
![Page 17: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Discussion • Who verifies qualifying stay?
• Who determines skilled services?
• Who identifies the principal diagnosis?
• What forms are you currently using to communicate services and care being provided?
• How is the record monitored for documentation compliance?
• Who tracks completion of the Certifications?
![Page 18: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

ICD-9-CM Coding
![Page 20: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Coding Guidelines for Post Acute Care
• Per ICD-9-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, aftercare codes are generally first to explain the specific reason for the encounter (admission)
• Certain aftercare code categories need a secondary dx code to describe the resolving condition or sequelae
• For others (V codes) the condition is inherent in code title
![Page 21: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
MYTH• The FI / MAC will not accept V-codes as
principal diagnosis - is an INCORRECT statement.
• Truth: Medicare requires that the Principal DX be reported according to Official ICD-9-CM guidelines for coding and reporting, as required by HIPAA including any applicable guidelines regarding the use of V-Codes
![Page 22: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
MYTH
• In order to truly support the relationship between SNF services and the qualifying stay I must code the hospital diagnosis
• Truth: The skilled services are covered as long as they are related to the condition treated at the hospital
Example: Though the SNF does not perform joint
replacements it does provide rehabilitative services during the recovery period.
![Page 23: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Types of codes used in LTC
• Aftercare – used when the initial treatment of a disease or injury has been performed and the patient still requires continued care to heal or recover.
• Late Effects – a late effect is a residual condition that remains and requires medical evaluation, rehab treatments and/or nursing care after the initial illness or injury.
![Page 24: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Types of codes used in LTC
• History of – (Hx) – history codes are acceptable on any Medical record regardless of reason for admission/encounter.
• A history code is distinct from a “status” code in that history codes indicate that the patient no longer has
the condition and “status” codes indicated a present state.
• There are two types of history V-codes, personal and family.
![Page 25: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Sequencing
• The order in which codes are listed is called sequencing. The coder should make every effort to record the codes in a logical sequence that is descriptive of the resident’s condition.
![Page 26: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Coding for Rehabilitative Services
• Category V57 does not indicate that rehab services were provided, only that the resident was admitted for this purpose
• Use only one code from Category V57 for an admission
• If the resident is admitted for multiple therapies, use V57.89
![Page 27: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
V57 Care Involving Rehab
• Code also the condition requiring the rehab, such as:– Residuals– Late effects– Aftercare– Symptoms
![Page 28: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
ICD-9-CM Official Guidelines for Coding & Reporting
• www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/icd9/cdguide.pdf
• Latest Revision October 1, 2009
• Codes revised twice per year April and October
• April codes will come out only if significant or important and can not wait until October
![Page 29: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What is your current practice?
• Discussion of current coding methodologies for your facility
• Review of available sample face sheets
![Page 30: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
SNF Prospective Payment System
• Clinical characteristics
• Limitations in activities of daily living ADLs
• Types of services received
![Page 31: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
PPS & The MDS
• 108 data fields of MDS 2.0 used to classify the resident into a RUG-III category that determines the payment level for the resident
• MDS contains information about the resident’s nursing needs, ADL impairments, cognitive status, behavioral problems and medical diagnoses.
• Data must be accurate, consistent and supported by the medical record documentation.
![Page 32: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
RUG – III Classification
Calculated from the MDS assessment data
7 broad categories in descending level of acuity
Assessment schedules defined by regulation i.e. 5 day, 14 day etc.
![Page 33: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Assessment Reference Date
• Determines elements of care to be captured for reimbursement
Example: A. Ultra High Intensity Criteria
In the last 7 days (section P1b [a,b,c]):720 minutes or more (total) of therapy per
week AND
At least two disciplines, 1 for at least 5 days, AND
2nd for at least 3 days

Advanced Beneficiary Notice
![Page 36: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
SNFABN
2002 CMS released the Skilled Nursing
Facility Advanced Beneficiary Notice
(SNFABN)
This form consolidated the five Denial
Letters into one alternative
![Page 37: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Providing the notice……
• If the SNF provides the beneficiary either SNFABN (CMS-10055) or a Denial Letter at the initiation, reduction or termination of Medicare Part A benefits, the provider has met its obligation to inform the beneficiary of his/her potential liability for payment related standard claim appeal rights.
• Issuing Notice to Medicare Non-Coverage (CMS-10123) only notifies of rights to expedited review of a service termination but does not fulfill obligation to advise of potential liability for payment.
![Page 38: Medicare and SNF Presented by Lizeth Flores, RHIT Health Information Management Consultant Anderson Health Information Systems, Inc 714-558-3887 lizeth@ahis.net.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dea5503460f94ae5558/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
CMS 10123
• Informs of right to expedited review of a service termination
• Must be issued upon termination of all Medicare part A services for “coverage reasons” not exhaustion of benefit covered days.
• If after issuing CMS 10123, the SNF expects resident to remain in the facility on a non-covered stay CMS 10055 or a Denial Letter must be issued to inform of potential liability for the non-covered stay.
