Skilled Nursing Facility 3-Day Rule Billing

To qualify for Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) extended care services coverage, Medicare patients must meet the 3-day rule before SNF admission. 

The 3-day rule requires,

  • Three-day-consecutive inpatient hospital stay. 
  • Three-day-consecutive stay counts inpatient setting.
  • Starting with the calendar day of hospital admission.
  • Doesn’t include the day of discharge or any pre-admission time spent in the ER or outpatient observation.

SNF extended care services are an extension of care a patient needs after a hospital discharge or within 30 days of their hospital stay (unless admitting them within 30 days is medically inappropriate).

Example

A 68-year-old male patient went to the hospital ER after falling on May 17th from his home and a physician admitted him to the hospital on the same day. On subsequently May 20, the hospital discharged him to SNF extended care services. 

For this case, the patient did qualify the 3-day rule. Hospitals can count the admission day (May 17th to May19th), but not the discharge day (May 20). 

Tips

Medicare considered inpatients meet the 3-day rule by staying 3 consecutive days in 1 or more hospital(s) as well.


New ICD codes for COVID-19

In March 2020 the Novel Coronavirus Disease, COVID-19, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), under the National Emergencies Act Section 201 and 301, is announcing further additions to the ICD-10-CM Classification related to COVID-19, which will become effective January 1, 2021.

As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency, the Centers for Disease Control and\ Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics (CDC/NCHS) is implementing additional codes into ICD-10-CM for reporting to include,
  • Encounter for screening for COVID-19  - Z11.52
  • Contact with and (suspected) exposure to COVID-19 - Z20.822
  • Personal history of COVID-19 - Z86.16
  • Multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) - M35.81
  • Other specified systemic involvement of connective tissue - M35.89
  • Pneumonia due to coronavirus disease 2019 - J12.82
  • COVID-19 Positive - U07.1
These new codes will be effective January 1, 2021, to identify conditions resulting from COVID-19.

Cognitive Assessment Written Care Plan

A patient presents with cognitive impairment and or identified during the encounter then Medicare covers a separate visit for a cognitive assessment.

So, the provider can more thoroughly evaluate the patients for cognitive function and help with care planning.

Any clinician eligible to report evaluation and management services can offer this service, including physicians (MD and DO), nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and physician assistants.

The Cognitive Assessment & Care Plan Services (CPT code 99483) typically start with a 50-minute face-to-face visit that includes a detailed history and patient exam.

The physician can collect the information from the physical examination to create a written care plan.

The resulting written care plan includes initial plans to address as following,
  • Neuropsychiatric symptoms
  • Neurocognitive symptoms
  • Functional limitations
The Patient and or caregiver referrals to community resources, as needed, with initial education and support.

Effective from January 1, 2021, Medicare increased payment for these services to $282 when provided in an office setting, added these services to the definition of primary care services in the Medicare Shared Savings Program, and permanently covers these services via telehealth.
