2 2 Ellenville Extra Compliance Corner with Chris Cardiac Rehabilitation (Continued) The cardiac rehabilitation professional should the prescription as a dynamic blueprint and continuously monitor and record the patient's objective and subjective responses to the exercise therapy. While the supervising physician may not personally orchestrate each change in the exercise program, he or she will certainly rely on recorded data and observations based on the exercise sessions in his or her periodic reviews of the patient's progress. Medicare stipulates, as with Other Third-Party Payers, that CR items and services must be furnished in a physician s office or a hospital outpatient setting. All settings must have a physician immediately available and accessible for medical consultations and emergencies at all times items and services are being furnished under the program. This provision is satisfied if the physician meets the requirements for the direct supervision of physician s office services and for hospital outpatient therapeutic services. In general, CR program sessions are limited to a maximum of 2 one-hour sessions per day for up to 36 sessions over up to 36 weeks, with the option for an additional 36 sessions over an extended period of time if approved by the Medicare contractor. In order to report one session of cardiac rehabilitation services in a day, the duration of treatment must be at least 31 minutes. Two sessions of cardiac rehabilitation services may only be reported in the same day if the duration of treatment is at least 91 minutes. CR is billed on a monthly basis, so reviews of claims should cover all instances of CR services rendered in a calendar month. Codes billed for these services are based upon whether or not continuous ECG monitoring was performed: Physician or other qualified health care professional services for outpatient cardiac rehabilitation; without continuous ECG monitoring (per session) Physician or other qualified health care professional services for outpatient cardiac rehabilitation; with continuous ECG monitoring (per session) From an auditing perspective, coders should be looking for documentation of a prescription/referral, a Plan of Care, individual encounter documentation of the exercises performed with the results of each exercise, ECG monitoring (if performed), and ongoing review by the physician. Lack of any of these components can impact compliance with billing requirements. Don t hesitate to ask for additional documentation if you are reviewing these services as sometimes data is stored in a paper chart or EMR location separate from the other documents you are reviewing. If additional services are rendered to the patient during his/her time in the office, review time calculations d to assign units for each line item on the claim. Also check your National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits to make sure there are no bundling conflicts across services listed separately from the CR codes.

3 3 Volume 2, Issue 2 HIPAA-tized by Lance Hello Is My Mother There? When a hospital or other covered entity ( CE ) receives a call asking if a certain patient is being treated, the question can be answered, but the following steps must be taken before that information is disclosed. First, it must be determined if the patient has opted out of the CE s directory. Upon admission, all patients must be asked if they wish to opt out of the directory. If the patient does agree to this, then that person is stating that he or she does not want anyone in the public to know that he or she is receiving any services at the CE. This person will have his or her name excluded from the patient directory. If the patient has not opted out, the following information may be shared with callers or other individuals who have inquired about a specific patient by name: Patient s name Patient s location in the facility, i.e. Room 222A Patient s general condition, i.e. good, stable, critical The CE s staff must ALWAYS consult with the patient before disclosing any additional information concerning the patient s care and this should always be limited to the minimum necessary as discussed in a previous HIPAA-tizing article. So to summarize, yes, the hospital can tell you if your mother is there but only if she is there and only her general condition. If you need anything else, the best bet is to be a good son or daughter and call or better yet, visit Mom you ll be glad you did! Lance.smith@hahv.org 3
