Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) Generally, Medicare IPPS payment is on a per discharge or per case basis for Medicare patients with inpatient stays. The claim for the patient s inpatient stay must include all outpatient diagnostic services and admission-related outpatient nondiagnostic services provided by the admitting hospital or an entity that is wholly owned or operated by the admitting hospital on the date of a patient s inpatient admission or within 3 days immediately preceding the date of a patient s inpatient admission. In addition, you must not separately bill these services to Medicare Part B. Discharges are assigned to diagnosis-related groups (DRGs), a classification system that groups similar clinical conditions (diagnoses) and the procedures furnished by the hospital during the stay. The patient s principal diagnosis and up to 24 secondary diagnoses that may include comorbidities or complications will determine the DRG assignment. Similarly, DRG assignment can be affected by up to 25 procedures furnished during the stay. Other factors that may influence DRG assignment include a patient s gender, age, or discharge status disposition.

MS-DRG FY2017 The ICD-10 Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Groups (MS-DRGs) Grouper software v34.0 classifies hospital case types into groups expected to have similar hospital resource use. Medicare uses this classification to pay for inpatient hospital care. Hospitals are paid a fixed price by Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) for treating Medicare patients. The groupings are based on diagnoses, procedures, other demographic information, and the presence of complications or co-morbidities, gender, and discharge disposition. NOTE: Check with your IT and Grouper Vendor (Coding/DRG Software) on installing the updates.

MS-DRG Changes The title for MS DRG 884 in FY 2017 ICD 10 MS DRGs Version 34 is MS DRG 884 (Organic Disturbances and Intellectual Disability), effective October 1, 2016 changing the word mental retardation. Reassign ICD 10 CM diagnosis codes T85.610A, T85.620A, T85.630A, and T85.690A from MDC 21 under MS DRGs 919, 920, and 921 to MDC 1 under MS DRGs 091, 092, and 093. The official code titles for these four codes were revised after publication of the proposed rule. Effective October 1, 2016, the revised code titles are as follows (and are reflected in Table 6E). T85.610A (Breakdown (mechanical) of cranial or spinal infusion catheter, initial encounter); T85.620A (Displacement of cranial or spinal infusion catheter, initial encounter); T85.630A (Leakage of cranial or spinal infusion catheter, initial encounter); and T85.690A (Other mechanical complication of cranial or spinal infusion catheter, initial encounter)
MS-DRG Changes (cont.) No change in assignments for endovascular embolization or occlusion of head and neck procedures and other endovascular procedures in MS DRGs 020 through 027. Assign ICD 10 PCS procedure codes 02RK0JZ (Replacement of right ventricle with synthetic substitute, open approach) and 02RL0JZ (Replacement of left ventricle with synthetic substitute, open approach) as a code cluster to MS DRGs 001 and 002 (Heart Transplant or Implant of Heart Assist System with and without MCC, respectively) effective October 1, 2016 for ICD 10 MS DRGs Version 34.
MS-DRG changes (cont.) Reassigning 18 ICD 10 CM diagnosis codes from MDC 21 (Injuries, Poisonings and Toxic Effects of Drugs)under MS DRGs 919, 920, and 921(Complications of Treatment with MCC, with CC, and without CC/MCC, respectively) to MDC 1 (Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous System) under MS DRGs 091, 092, and 093 (Other Disorders of the Nervous System with MCC, with CC, and without CC/MCC, respectively) effective October 1, 2016. MS-DRGs 919-921 (Mechanical Complications): Mechanical complications of the nervous system including devices, implants, grafts, implanted electronic neurostimulator of the brain will be moved from MS-DRGs 919 921 to MS-DRG 91 93 (Other Disorders of the Nervous System). Reassigned ICD 10 CM diagnosis code R22.2 Localized Swelling, Mass and Lump, Trunk) from MDC 4 to MDC 9 under MS DRGs 606 and 607 (Minor Skin Disorders with and without MCC, respectively).
MS-DRGs Changes (Cardiac Focus) MDC 5 (Diseases and Disorders of the Circulatory System) Implantable Loop Recorder CMS finalized its proposal to include 4 of the 6 requested ICD-10 procedure codes related to ILRs as OR procedures, which will result in these procedures mapping to higher paying MS-DRGs Pacemaker Implants, Replacements and Revisions CMS finalized its proposals to eliminate the code combinations, and instead provide lists of codes for each category (i.e. Implant, Revision, Replacement) if the appropriate codes appear on the claim from these lists, they will map to MS-DRGs 242-244 MitraClip System Implants CMS finalized its proposal to map MitraClip procedures to MS-DRGs 228, 229 MS-DRGs 228-230 Other Cardiothoracic Procedures: CMS finalized its proposal to move transcatheter mitral valve repair (i.e. the MitraClip System) from current MS-DRG 273-274 to MS-DRG 228 and 229. MS-DRG 230 has been eliminated based on claims data and the rules governing splitting MS-DRGs. These cases will be included with MS-DRG 229 C Current MS-DRG 228 description will be Other Cardiothoracic Procedures with MCC and MS-DRG 229 without MCC or CC. AICD Procedures CMS is finalizing its proposal for no changes to MS-DRG 245 based on their analysis Implantable Medical Device Credits CMS policy states that if a hospital received a credit for a recalled device equal to 50 percent or more of the cost of the device, CMS would reduce a hospital s IPPS payment for those MS-DRGs No changes were made to this policy for FY 2017 this policy impacts 48 MS-DRGs Implantable Medical Device Credits CMS policy states that if a hospital received a credit for a recalled device equal to 50 percent or more of the cost of the device, CMS would reduce a hospital's IPPS payment for those MS-DRGs No changes were made to this policy for FY 2017 this policy impacts 48 MS-DRGs
MS-DRG Changes (cont.) Collapse MS DRGs 228, 229, and 230 from three severity levels to two severity levels by deleting MS DRG 230 and revising MS DRG 229. Finalizing our proposal to reassign ICD 9 CM procedure code 35.97 and the cases reporting ICD 10 PCS procedure code 02UG3JZ (Supplement mitral valve with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach) from MS DRGs 273 and 274 to MS DRG 228 and revised MS DRG 229. The title of revised MS DRG 229 is finalized as follows to reflect the without MCC designation, Other Cardiothoracic Procedures without MCC. The title for MS DRG 228 is finalized as MS DRG 228 (Other Cardiothoracic Procedures with MCC).
MS-DRG Changes (cont.) Modify the MS DRG logic for MS DRGs 242, 243, and 244 to establish that cases reporting one ICD 10 PCS code from the list of procedure codes describing procedures involving pacemaker devices and one ICD 10 PCS code from the list of procedure codes describing procedures involving pacemaker leads in combination with one another will qualify the case for assignment to MS DRGs 242, 243, and 244. Modify the MS DRG logic for MS DRGs 258 and 259 (Cardiac Pacemaker Device Replacement with and without MCC, respectively) to establish that a case reporting one ICD 10 PCS procedure code describing procedures involving pacemaker device insertions without any other procedure codes describing procedures involving pacemaker leads reported is assigned to MS DRGs 258 and 259 for FY 2017. Updated ICD-10-PCS code titles for these procedures.
MS-DRG Changes (cont.) MS DRG 245 (AICD Generator Procedures) criteria were not met to support the subdivision of MS DRG 245 into severity levels for FY 2017. CMS will continue to monitor MS DRG 245 claim data as we analyze issues for the FY 2018 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule. Reclassify the bypass of the portal vein to lower vein with transluminal device, percutaneous approach (06183DY) from 270 272 (Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures) to MSDRGs 405 407. Also known as TIPS procedure.

IPPS FY2017: HAC Hospitals in the lowest performing quartile for HACs are penalized 1% of their total Medicare MS-DRG payments. In 2016, 75% of the performance in HACs will be in the abstracted measure domain, and central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), and SSIs will be targeted. Thus far, the results have been: Approximately 1.3 million fewer patients were harmed in U.S. hospitals between 2010-2013, which is a 17% decline in HACs. Approximately 50,000 fewer patients died in the hospital as a result of this reduction in HACs. Approximately $12 billion in healthcare costs was saved from 2010-2013 due to this reduction. 44

Post Acute Care Transfer (PACT) CMS evaluates whether the postacute care transfer policy applies to that assignment using the following criteria: Whether the MS-DRG s total number of discharges to postacute care equals or exceeds the 55th percentile for all MS-DRGs; and Whether the proportion of (i) short-stay discharges to postacute care to (ii) total discharges in the MS-DRG exceeds the 55th percentile for all MS-DRGs. If the MS-DRG satisfies both criteria, CMS applies the postacute care transfer policy to that MS-DRG as well as to any other MS-DRG that shares the same base MS-DRG.
PACT cont. The discharge status code is assigned by the hospital based on the expected treatment, if any, planned after the patient leaves the care of the hospital. The proper discharge status code is determined after consultation with the patient and the patient s family, their physician and hospital personnel. It can indicate, among other scenarios, that a patient will be discharged to: Home A nursing home Home health care A rehabilitation facility A psychiatric facility, or Another acute care hospital Only certain discharge status codes are impacted by the Transfer Rule.
PACT cont. Under IPPS there are two formulas used under the postacute care transfer (PACT) rule. For FY 2017 there are 280 MS-DRGs included in the standard rule. Standard Rule: DRG Payment X (LOS + 1) GMLOS For FY 2017 there are 37 Special payment MS-DRGs Special Rule: ½ DRG Payment + ½ Per Diem Per Day as above in the standard rule 51
Medicare Code Editor The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) software detects and reports errors in the coding of Medicare claims data. While the program identifies and indicates the nature of the error, it does not correct the error. A particular error condition is associated with each type of coding error identified by MCE.

MCE (cont.) Example not all inclusive 1. Invalid diagnosis or procedure code The Medicare Code Editor checks each diagnosis including the admitting diagnosis and each procedure against a table of valid ICD codes. If an entered code does not agree with any code on the internal list, it is assumed to be invalid. For a list of all valid ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS codes, see the International Classification of Diseases list. 2. External causes of morbidity codes as principal diagnosis External cause codes (V, W, X or Y codes (ICD-10-CM), E codes (ICD-9-CM)) describe the circumstance causing an injury, not the nature of the injury, and therefore should not be used as a principal diagnosis. For a list of all external causes of morbidity codes, see the International Classification of Diseases list. 3. Duplicate of PDX Whenever a secondary diagnosis is coded the same as the principal diagnosis, the secondary diagnosis is identified as a duplicate of the principal diagnosis.
Readmission Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP): CMS is not proposing any changes to HRRP measures in the FY 2017 IPPS rule. However, to align with other quality reporting programs, excess readmission rates will be posted to the Hospital Compare website as soon as feasible following the preview period. Additionally, as proposed, CMS will include coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) when calculating the readmissions payment adjustment for FY 2017. Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (RRP): The number of cases and excess readmissions ratios for the five conditions (heart failure, pneumonia, acute myocardial infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, total hip/total knee arthroplasty, and coronary artery bypass grafting) used to calculate the payment adjustment factors. Excess readmission rates will be posted to the Hospital Compare website as soon as feasible following the hospitals preview period.
Two-Midnight Rule Two-Midnight Rule: CMS will remove the 0.2% reduction from the two midnight rule. In FY2017, CMS will make a one-time increase of 0.8% to offset the payment reductions that occurred in FY2014, FY2015, and FY2016. Note while the two-midnight timeframe remains in effect, CMS will recognize exceptions based on documentation of the clinical need of the patient.
Two-Midnight Rule (cont.) CMS is finalizing regulations to implement the NOTICE Act, which requires hospitals to provide patients receiving more than 24 hours of observation services as an outpatient both written notice and oral explanation of the implications of this status Standard written notice needs to be provided, called the Medicare Outpatient Observation Notice (MOON) this must be signed by patient or person acting on their behalf. The MOON is currently going through the Paperwork Reduction Act process, and comments on the MOON will be accepted for 30 days after the final rule is published. The draft MOON is available at https://www.cms.gov/regulations-and- Guidance/Legislation/PaperworkReductionActof1995/PRA-Listing- Items/CMS-10611.html Hospitals and CAHs must fully implement use of the MOON no later than 90 calendar days from the date of PRA approval of the MOON, which will be 120 days after the publication of the final rule (including the 30 day comment period). CMS will provide oral explanation guidance in forthcoming manual provisions.
Two-Midnight Rule (cont.) Notice must be given to Medicare patients no later than 36 hours after observation services begin. However, the MOON can be provided before the patient has received more than 24 hours of observation services, and be in compliance with the written requirement. Please note CMS is not proposing changes to the Two-Midnight Rule policy. The only changes CMS is proposing regarding this policy is the payment adjustment tied to it, and this is reflected in the overall 0.9% adjustment described above.
IPPS FY2017: P4P & VBP Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program. CMS is adding 2 condition-specific payment measures (for acute myocardial infarction and heart failure) beginning with the FY 2021 program year and a 30-day mortality measure following CABG surgery beginning with the FY 2022 program year. 59
Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Percentage in play for hospitals rises to 2%. CMS estimates that $1.8 billion will be redistributed among hospitals through VBP. CMS provides a summary of previously adopted and recently base lined performance periods for program year 2018-2022, including adding AMI and HF payment measures for 2021. These will be calculated in the same manner as CMS calculates the MSPB measure.
Hospital IQR Program CMS will add 4 new claims-based measures for the FY 2019 payment determination and subsequent years: Aortic Aneurysm Procedure Clinical Episode-Based Payment Measure; Cholecystectomy and Common Duct Exploration Clinical Episode-Based Payment Measure; Spinal Fusion Clinical Episode-Based Payment Measure; and Excess Days in Acute Care After Hospitalization for Pneumonia. CMS is also removing 15 measures for the FY 2019 payment determination and subsequent years.
Hospital Acquired Conditions (HAC) Program Hospital Acquired Conditions (HAC) Program: CMS is making five changes to existing HAC Reduction Program policies: Establishing National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) CDC Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) data submission requirements for newly opened hospitals; Clarifying data requirements for Domain 1 scoring; Establishing performance periods for the FY 2018 and FY 2019 HAC Reduction Program; Adopting the refined PSI 90: Patient Safety for Selected Indicators Composite Measure (NQF # 0531); and Changing the Program scoring methodology from the current decilebased scoring to a continuous scoring methodology HAC will reduce total IPPS payments by 1 percentage point to the top quartile of ranked hospitals no estimated dollar impact was provided.
Summary IPPS Changes take effect 10/1/2016. Work closely with Coding HIM on the MS-DRG data. ICD-10-PCS operative changes to MS-DRGs. Accuracy of discharge disposition (PACT rule). Stay tuned on MOON and two mid-night. Quality, Quality and more Quality initiatives that drive payment!
Next Steps Study your MS-DRG data and trends Run report of Unspecified codes Top 5 positions at least Review your top Physician Queries since 10/2016 ICD-10-PCS may be a key for future aspects of CDI Enhance knowledge in the surgical documentation area. Meet at least once a month with HIM Coding Dialog with HIM Coding on a regular basis. Q4 2016 AHA Coding Clinic.
