Diagnoses and PDPM
Patient-Driven Payment Model(PDPM) OverviewPDPM uses clinical conditions to determine theresident’s payment category, rather than theamount of therapy provided.
PDPM OverviewPDPM is composed of five case mix adjustedpayment components and one non-case mixcomponent:q Physical Therapy (PT)q Occupational Therapy (OT)q Speech Language Pathology (SLP)q Nursingq Non-Therapy Ancillaries Services (NTA)q Non-Case Mix Component
PDPM Overview All residents will be classified into PT, OT, andSLP categories regardless of whether they are ontherapy case load.
PT and OT ComponentsØ PT and OT Case Mix are calculated in thesame manner, but paid separately based onseparate case-mix indices.Ø Drivers of PT and OT componentq Primary reason for skilled stay§ Utilizes diagnosis codes to classifyresidents into on of four PT and OT clinicalcategoriesq Function Score
PT and OT ComponentsSelecting of the primary reason for skilled stay:q Determine resident’s primary diagnosis§This code, or codes, must be entered into MDS ItemI8000.q Utilizing the primary diagnosis identify one of thefour clinical categories.§§§§Major joint replacement or spinal surgeryOther orthopedicNon-orthopedic surgeryMedical Management
PT and OT ComponentsSelecting of the primary reason for skilled stay:q Some codes may map to more than one clinicalcategoryq Further delineation may be made into a surgicalcategory based on specific procedures that occurredduring inpatient hospitalization§The ICD-10-PCS (procedure code), if utilized to mapthe resident into a surgical clinical category, must berecorded on the second line of item I8000.

Coding Pitfalls and Tips
Principal DiagnosisØ The Principal Diagnosis: is defined in theUniform Hospital Discharge Data Set (UHDDS) as“that condition established after study to bechiefly responsible for occasioning theadmission of the patient to the hospital forcare”.Ø This definition has been expanded to include ALLnon-outpatient settings including SNFs / LTCfacilities.
Principal Diagnosis43Ø When a patient is treated for an acutecondition in the hospital and transferred to aSNF for rehabq The acute condition, if still present is coded as thefirst listed/principal diagnosis.q The aftercare is coded as the first listed/principaldiagnosis, if the acute condition is no longerpresent.
Principal Diagnosis44Ø When a patient transitions to long term careor returns from hospital stay for continuedlong term careq The chronic condition, that requires continued stayfor long term care is the first listed/principaldiagnosis.q The acute condition or aftercare is sequenced as thefirst additional/secondary diagnosis.
Additional Diagnoses45Ø Secondary/Additional Diagnoses – conditions thatcoexist at the time of admission, that developsubsequently during the resident’s stay or thataffect the treatment the resident receives or theresident’s length of stay.q Diagnosis that support both the Principle Dx. Thisis where you would include the therapy treatmentdiagnosis codes as they support the Admit Dx
Additional Diagnoses46Ø Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter Six,page 33, indicates the Principal Diagnosis and upto eight additional diagnosis codes are included inthe claims review process.Ø This makes it imperative to get the most pertinentdiagnoses requiring skilled services in the top 8boxes of this section.
Common Coding Errors47Ø Incorrect selection of principal diagnosisØ Coding and Sequencing of Hypertension (HTN)with Chronic kidney disease (CKD)Ø Coding External Causes (V00-Y99)Ø Coding UTI without meeting all of the criteriaper the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI)Manual
Common Coding Errors48Ø Coding Aftercare codes (Z codes) with injury orfracture codes with a 7th character thatidentifies the encounter typeØ Incorrect 7th character selection for injury andfracture codes to identify the encounter typeØ Coding conditions to a lower or higher level ofspecificity than provider documentationsupports
Common Coding Errors49Ø Coding acute condition, when conditions isresolved and skilled care is focused on thesequela or aftercareØ Coding symptoms with presence of adefinitive diagnosis
Risks of Inaccurate Coding
Risks of Incorrect Coding51Ø Inaccurate health recordØ Incomplete or inaccurate data on the MDSØ Incomplete or inaccurate data on the UB04
Inaccurate Health Record52Ø Risk ManagementØ Diagnosis of osteoporosis in a resident thatobtains a fracture after rolling out of the bed inlowest position onto fall mats.q Coding guidelines indicate that the fracture maybe coded as a pathologic fracture.Ø Quality CareØ Resident specific care based in part on theirspecific diagnoses and other care needs.
Incomplete/Inaccurate MDS53Ø Care PlanningØ Diagnoses aid in identification of problems anddetermination of interventionsØ Quality MeasuresØ Percentage of Short Stay Residents with PressureUlcers that are New or Worseningq Includes Covariates related to diabetes orperipheral vascular disease coded in Section I
Incomplete/Inaccurate UB54Ø Claims DenialsØ Remittance advice informs of invalid diagnosis,but does not specify which code or sequenceØ Quality MeasuresØ SNF Readmission Measure (SNFRM)q Exclusions include hospitalized for primarydiagnosis related to medical (non-surgical)treatment of cancer
Planning
What’s Next56Ø Complete routine coding and MDS auditsØ Ensure staff have current ICD-10-CM codebooksØ Updated every October 1stØ Provide staff with basic ICD-10-CM trainingØ Provide staff with PDPM training
What’s Next57Ø Ensure that all disciplines are utilizing thesame primary diagnosisØ Review diagnosis coding during Triple Check(Pre-Bill) meetingØ Review code updates effective October 1st andrevise codes for current residents, as needed
