• Minimum Data Set (MDS)
• PPS – Prospective Payment System is the payment system using the RUG category for payment
• Resource Utilization Group (RUG)
– Payment is determined by the resources needed to care for a resident as coded on MDS.
– The RUG-IV is a classification based on residents’ clinical condition and the extent of services needed and provided.
• Grouper – Software which determines RUG classification

ADL Data Gathering
ADL data gathering - score of “6” to achieve “B”
– 3 out of 4 ADLs need to be Extensive Assist
• Data gathering “By Shift” limits total “events”
– May have only two “shifts” with Extensive for an ADL
• Interview staff; likely ext. assist was provided 3 or more times during look back – chart to true “number of times.”
– Collect ADL Data gathering to “by event”
• If transfer 3 times on one shift, capture all 3 times.
23
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
• Have formal data gathering methods for Medicare residents.
• Have formal data gathering systems for OBRA Initial, Quarterly, and Annual Assessments as well as Significant Clinical Change Assessments, especially needed if a Case Mix State.
• Ideas to limit “copycat” charting: Have data sheets separated for each shift, consider having worksheets turned in at the end of the shift. Nurse then transfers to flow sheet like vital signs.
• May consider self-performance and support in therapy when coding Section G.
24
Documentation for Section G
FH79 - Developed by Polaris Group www.polaris-group.com Page 15 of 86
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Documentation for Section G
• If the MDS Nurse is going to code ADLs on the MDS in conflict with medical record documentation, then a summary note of findings should be written in the clinical record.
• Implement MDS ADL training for aides, nurses, and MDS Nurse in orientation with competency test.
• Implement a MDS cheat sheet for new hires and temporary agency staff for quick reference.
• Post MDS/ADLs related posters and signs to serve as ongoing fun reminders.
25
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Documentation for Section G
• Provide inservices every 3 months on MDS and related ADLs.
• Allow time for aides to document; get rid of any unnecessary documentation.

Therapy’s Role in ADL Scoring
• Consider therapy documentation if needed to find a 3rd
Extensive.
• ADLs are clearly part of a therapy plan and the levels of assistance can be a component of the discussions with the MDS Coordinator following the Rule of Three.
• Provide feedback regarding the late loss ADLs as noted during therapy sessions in the last 7 day; consideration will always be towards scoring the most dependent status.
• Therapy documentation will provide continued support for late loss ADLs through daily and weekly notes.

• 5 distinct days a week for therapy to be considered skilled.– Not Daily: PT – M, W, F, and OT – M, W
– Must be 5 distinct days
• Must be 5 distinct days, for example:– PT is scheduled 3 days each week (M, W, F)
– OT is scheduled 2 other days each week (T, Th)

POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Rehab Medium and Low Qualifier
Daily Skilled Service:
• Requires a legitimate medical need for scheduling a therapy session each day or the “daily basis” requirement for skilled coverage.
• The basic issue here is not whether the services are needed, but when they are needed.
• No indication yet what this means to Short Stay qualifiers.

Strict Isolation
• Do not code this item if the resident only has a history of infectious disease (e.g., s/p MRSA or s/p C-Diff - no active symptoms).
• Do not code this item if the precautions are standard precautions, because these types of precautions apply to everyone. Standard precautions include hand hygiene compliance, glove use, and additionally may include masks, eye protection, and gowns.
43
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Strict Isolation
Code for “strict isolation” only when all of the following conditions are met:
1. The resident has active infection with highly transmissible or epidemiologically significant pathogens that have been acquired by physical contact or airborne or droplet transmission.
2. Precautions are over and above standard precautions. That is transmission-based precautions (contact, droplet, and/or airborne) must be in effect.
44

POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Strict Isolation
Code for “strict isolation” only when all of the following conditions are met:
3. The resident is in a room alone because of active infection and cannot have a roommate. Cannot cohort even with a resident with similar infection.
4. The resident must remain in his/her room. (This requires that services be brought activities, dining, etc.).
45
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Isolation Coding
• Examples of when the isolation criterion would not apply include urinary tract infections, encapsulated pneumonia, and wound infections.
• Physician documentation to support diagnosis and isolation.
• Care plan address IC practices.
• Care plan is updated as needed and consider SCSA.
• Train therapy staff as indicated for resident’s condition.

POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Section O – Special Treatments and Procedures
• Concurrent Therapy Medicare Part A– All concurrent minutes count toward daily minutes – Two residents treated at same time by one
therapist/assistant– Each resident is performing different activities– Regardless of payer source, if one resident is Part A, it
applies to Part A resident in terms of coding on MDS.– Both residents must be within line of sight of
therapist/assistant– Concurrent minutes do not need to be in clarification
order 54

POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Section O – Special Treatments and Procedures
• Under RUG-IV for Part A
– Concurrent Minutes• Grouper will allocate only half of the concurrent minutes
toward a therapy RUG category
• Resident concurrent minutes are 30; allocated minutes used for RUG is 15 minutes- divided in half by grouper
• Resident was in therapy for 46 minutes; 46 minutes are coded on MDS in Concurrent Therapy. The Grouper will only count 23 minutes toward RUG
• Grouper rounds mathematically up or down. 33 min = 16.5. 17 minutes used for grouper
55
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Section O – Special Treatments and Procedures
• Group Minutes Medicare Part A
– Group of 2-4 perform similar activities with one treating therapist or assistant
– Group minutes should be in clarification order
56
FH79 - Developed by Polaris Group www.polaris-group.com Page 31 of 86
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Section O – Special Treatments and Procedures
• Group Minutes Medicare Part A
– Group of 4 perform similar activities with one treating therapist or assistant.
– Only 25% of Resident minutes contribute to RUG.
– Capped at 25% of total reimbursable minutes for each discipline
– Group minutes should be in clarification order
57
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Group Minutes
• Impact:
– Groups must be planned for 4 residents. • 30 minutes with 4 residents; is 30 minutes on each
resident’s MDS.
– However, only 7.5 (8) minutes is considered RTM by grouper to calculate RUG.
– Only 8 minutes is used to calculate the 25% cap.
• If one or two residents “miss” planned 4 person group therapy, SNF may still code as group minutes on MDS, and allocation still applies.
58
FH79 - Developed by Polaris Group www.polaris-group.com Page 32 of 86
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Co-Treatment Item
• Co-treatment minutes are coded as individual minutes.
• If there is one discipline with co-treatment minutes, there would have to be a second with co-treatment minutes.
• These minutes would match.
• No indication this item will impact RUG calculations.
59
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Co-Treatment Coding Example
• PT delivered 221 individual minutes over the last 7 days. Of those individual minutes, 101 were co-treatment minutes with OT. – Code 221 Individual Minutes
– Code 101 Co-treatment Minutes
• OT delivered 101 individual minutes over last 7 days. Of those individual minutes, all were co-treatment minutes with PT. – Code 101 Individual Minutes
– Code 101 Co-treatment Minutes. 60

5. Therapy Start date – first day therapy started
– Start of Therapy – Rehab RUG billed first day with therapy
– Day Evaluation done even if treatment not provided
6. Therapy End date - End of Therapy – This is the last day of therapy date. (CMS ongoing clarifications)
– A non-therapy/Medical RUG is billed the first day without therapy
Carry Start and End dates over to subsequent MDS
Section O – Special Treatments and Procedures

POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Therapy End Date
Therapy End Date – “Record the date the most recent therapy regimen (since the most recent entry) ended. This is the last date the resident received skilled therapy treatment. Enter dashes if therapy is ongoing.”
Scenario One: End of Therapy date is planned. Once the last therapy is discontinued/end date is last day received; and resident stays on Part A for another skilled service; an End of Therapy MDS must be completed to bill Medical RUG.
Scenario Two: Resident is on Part A, still on case load, when unexpectedly discharged.

POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Considerations for Length of Stay
Restorative Programming
• Establishing an individualized restorative program and training the caregivers must occur while the patient is in a skilled bed.
• Caregiver education as evidenced by return demonstration as well as the training/modification related to precautions has occurred.
• Implementing the restorative program prior to the discharge day will allow the patient to provide feedback regarding the program.
• Written restorative programs must be a part of the medical record to demonstrate the skilled intervention in creating and training the program.
113
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Considerations for Managing LOS
Screening within 30 days
• When the patient is discharged to a long term care bed, re-screen the patient within 30 days to ensure the patient has maintained the functional level obtained while under Part A. If there has been a significant change, consult with the nursing for consideration of a transfer back into skilled care.
• When the patient is discharge to home or an ALF, establish a call back system to ensure the patient has retained the functional level since discharge. If there has been a significant change, consult with the physician/nursing for consideration of a readmission to skilled care.
114

POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Considerations for Managing LOS
Re-rugging to a lower level
• Consider re-rugging the patient into a medium or low category prior to discharge.
• Allows final few higher-level goals to be addressed
• Allows continued assessment of the functional level when therapy has lessened
• RL – 45 min over 7 days; therapy at least 3 days per week; any combination of PT, OT, ST; 2 or more restorative services
• RM – 150 min over 7 days; therapy 5 days per week; any combination of PT, OT, ST 115
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Considerations for Managing LOS
Caregiver teaching and training
– Caregiver education is vital to the ongoing success of a patient’s achieved therapeutic outcome. Nursing and therapists demonstrate the ongoing skilled needs and specific precautions through comprehensive education throughout the skilled stay
– Documentation in the medical record of ongoing education is vital to the process
– Education may require multiple sessions to train and observe return demonstration by the patient/caregiver
116

POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Considerations for Managing LOS
Home Assessment:
• Can be conducted for patients receiving Medicare Part A and Part B services
• Requires a physician order for the home assessment
• May complete several weeks to several days prior to discharge
• The home assessment, significant findings, and goals should be clearly documented in the medical record along with specific activities and minutes spent conducting the home assessment
117
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Considerations for Managing LOS
Other Considerations:
• Review residents who expire within 72 hours of admission to determine if admission was appropriate.
118

POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Unnecessary Hospital Transfers
• Increase focus by CMS related to hospital transfers with a LOS 30 days or less.
– If hospitals readmission rate is outside threshold CMS will take money back from hospital.
• Can impact relationships with hospitals and physician.
119
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Unnecessary Hospital Transfers
• At a monthly or weekly risk management meeting, review all transfers to hospital to determine if they were avoidable.
• Perform ongoing audit and analysis. – Day of week
– Physician
– Care need issues
– Early or late intervention?
120
FH79 - Developed by Polaris Group www.polaris-group.com Page 63 of 86
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Evaluation of Transfers
– Once the evaluation is complete possible follow-up:
• If there were opportunities to prevent or anticipate the immediate reason for the transfer by earlier identification and management of a change in status then training should be provided to involved staff.
• If the resident could have been cared for here if the provider had been available or returned calls earlier work with the provider and the medical director to ensure more timely response to nursing home calls.
121
POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Evaluation of Transfers
– If the resident could have been cared for safely if the necessary tests or procedures (e.g. continuous IV) were available at the facility then review whether there are additional services could be instituted.
Staff training:Review preadmission and admission practicesHow to identify changes in status earlyHow to use early warning toolWhat to do if changes in status occurHow to communicate effectively with physicians

POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Strategies for Oversight
• Monitor number of EOT and COT during weekly meetings.
• Monitor RUG levels at routine meetings.
• Daily PPS management between MDSC and Therapy.
• Administrator – ask the tough questions
• Accurate MDS coding of ADLs
124

POLARIS GROUP Strategic Solutions For Healthcare www.polaris-group.com©
Strategies for Oversight
• Implement strategies to increase LOS. – Perform review hospital transfers to determine if
avoidable
– Identify trends
– Identify staff training needs
– Adjust culture
• Monitor RUG levels achieved and compare to national norms monthly. – Number of days billed at each RUG level
