1 Icd 10 code for placement of pd catheter Address Submit Prior to 1995, providers were required to file the Medical Evidence form only for Medicare-eligible patients. Since the 1995 revision, however, providers are required to complete the form for all new ESRD patients regardless of Medicare eligibility status. The revised 1995 form included new fields for comorbid conditions, employment status, expanded race categories, ethnicity, and biochemical data at ESRD initiation. Diagnosis Codes Used to Define Cause of Hospitalization in Reference Table G. This section summarizes the history of federally organized data collection for U.S. ESRD patients. In 1995, HCFA replaced its Medicare ESRD Support Subsystem with the Renal Beneficiary and Utilization System (REBUS). Also in 1995, non-medicare patients were included in the database as the ESRD Medical Evidence form (CMS 2728) was made mandatory for all ESRD patients. In 2003, the REBUS database was converted into an Oracle relational database known as the Renal Management Information System (REMIS), and the Standard Information Management System (SIMS) database of the ESRD networks was also established. In 1977, the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) was established to oversee Medicare's financing and claims processing. To organize and assure quality of medical care, collect data, and adjudicate patient grievances, HCFA created 18 regional ESRD Networks. SIMS collected the CMS Medical Evidence, Death Notification, and Facility Survey forms, and included information to track patient movement in and out of ESRD facilities and their transitions from one treatment modality to another. With the integration of the SIMS events data into the USRDS Database, it became possible to better track patients beyond the initiation of treatment. SIMS was replaced by CROWNWeb in ICD-9-CM and ICD-10- CM Diagnosis Codes Used to Define Cardiovascular Disorders. Diagnosis and Procedure Codes Used for Diabetes-Related Care. ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes used to define chronic TEENney disease in the health insurance claim data files. Chapter 1: Incidence, Prevalence, Patient Characteristics, and Treatment Modalities. Reference Table H: Mortality and Causes of Death. Data were compiled from Medicare claims and ESRDspecific data forms: the Medical Evidence form (CMS 2728), the Death Notification form (CMS 2746), and the Facility Survey form (CMS 2744). Initially there was no mandatory compliance for data collection, so early data is quite incomplete. In 1981, reporting on the incidence of ESRD was

2 In 1981, reporting on the incidence of ESRD was mandated as a requirement for Medicare certification, and a new Medical Evidence form was introduced. Race Categories in the USRDS ESRD Database data sources. Chapter 12: USRDS Special Study Center on End-of-Life Care for Patients With ESRD. Optum Clinformatics Data Mart Database (OptumInsight, Eden Prairie, MN). The United States Renal Data System (USRDS) maintains a database of the medical and demographic characteristics of all end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who are Medicare beneficiaries. As the ESRD population is typically entitled to Medicare (although Medicare is not necessarily the primary payer), the primary data source for this database is the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Throughout the 1980s, efforts continued to create a comprehensive ESRD registry with reporting beyond that which the PMMIS provided. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 called for the Department of Health and Human Services to establish a "national end-stage renal disease registry". A Request for Proposal was issued for the development of the United States Renal Data System (USRDS). The contract was awarded in May 1988 to the Urban Institute by NIDDK, with a subcontract to the University of Michigan, and the first USRDS Annual Data Report on the ESRD population was released in The ESRD Analytical Methods chapter describes the data, analytical, and statistical methods for Volume 2 of the Annual Data Report (ADR). The Researcher's Guide to the USRDS Database, available through provides additional information about the database and standard analysis files (SAFs). For this ADR, we report on data through December 31, Some of the analyses depend on Medicare Claims data, therefore careful construction of appropriate denominators based on Medicare enrollment and primary payer status is required. These chapters and reference tables are marked with "[claims]" for easy identification. Detailed discussions about the data and analytical methods that are used in each chapter are found in the section titled Analytical Methods Used in the ESRD Volume. Chapter 9: Medicare Expenditures for Persons with ESRD [claims]. Effective in October 2015, CMS updated the 2728 form with ICD-10-CM codes to reflect "primary cause of renal failure" (Field 15). ICD- 10-CM codes provide more diagnoses and procedure detail as compared to those of ICD-9- CM, resulting in a better understanding of the patient's health. In addition to updating the form, CMS implemented options of ". These data include information on ESRD incidence, prevalence, morbidity, mortality, and related biochemical laboratory results. Also incorporated are Medicare claims for care received in inpatient (IP), outpatient (OP, including dialysis), skilled nursing facility (SN), home health agency (HH), and hospice (HS) settings. This information is complemented by details of physician/supplier services (PS), treatment histories (useful for modality determination), and payer histories (essential for determining denominators for Medicare claims data as shown below), modality events, and provider characteristics. DRG, ICD- 9-CM, and ICD-10-CM codes for vascular access and peritoneal dialysis access hospitalizations.

3 and peritoneal dialysis access hospitalizations. Chapter 10: Prescription Drug Coverage in Patients With ESRD [claims]. The third major revision of the Medical Evidence form in May 2005 remedied several shortcomings of the 1995 form and its earlier versions. It included new data collection methods and new variables. The revision allows users to specify whether the Medicare registration is initial (new ESRD patient), a re-entitlement (reinstating Medicare entitlement after a lapse due to no claims being filed for 12 or more months or a functioning graft for 36 or more months), or supplemental (updating missing or incorrect information). This clarifies the intended use of the form without recourse to the "First Regular Dialysis Start Date," and helps chronicle the historical sequence of multiple forms completed for the same patient. Data fields for nephrologist care, dietitian care, and access type were added, indicating their respective time intervals relative to ESRD onset. Data on the laboratory values hematocrit, creatinine clearance, BUN, and urea clearance were no longer collected. Added laboratory values were hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) and lipid profiles (total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides). Additional fields relate to whether patients have been informed of transplant options, and if not, why not, and discussed donor type. In 2001, HCFA was renamed the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. ICD diagnosis, HCPCS procedure, and DRG codes used to define ESRD in the Optum Clinformatics dataset. Diagnosis Codes Used to Characterize Cause of Hospitalization for the Chapter. Mapping to Pre-2015 Detailed Diagnosis Groups from the Medical Evidence Form (2728). The Consolidated Renal Operations in a Web-Enabled Network (CROWNWeb) is a web-based data collection system that captures clinical and administrative data from Medicare-certified dialysis facilities for all ESRD patients in the U.S. This system was implemented nationally in May In addition to replacing the existing patient tracking functionality of SIMS, CROWNWeb also collects new data to support calculation of clinical measures (e.g., Kt/V, hemoglobin, and calcium) and integrates these data with the REMIS system.
