Big changes are coming for long term care (LTC) in 2019, including the resource utilization group (RUG) reimbursement system being replaced by the patient-driven payment model (PDPM). ICD-10 will take the starring role in categorizing the patient into one of ten clinical categories, which determine payment rates. 25,000 ICD-10 codes will be rejected if reported under PDPM. This presentation will review PDPM and how ICD-10 drives the clinical category process.
Participants will understand:
- How ICD-10 affects PDPM
- Specific examples of codes that will be rejected
- Specific examples of codes that will be accepted
- How to get ready for October 1, 2019 PDPM implementation
