PT and OT Components
Unlike RCS‐I, in the PDPM the PT and OT Components are calculated together but paid separately based on the case‐mix.
Drivers of PT and OT component
• Primary reason for skilled stay
• Function score
seagroverehab.com7
PT and OT Components
I8000 ICD‐10‐CM will classify the patient into one of the 4 Clinical Categories.
Multiple ICD‐10‐CM codes will point to more than one Clinical Category
In these cases, providers will select a surgical procedure category in a sub‐item within item J2000 which would identify the relevant surgical procedure that occurred during the patient’s preceding hospital stay and which would augment the patient’s PDPM clinical category• This is due to post‐surgical patient needs may be much
different than non‐surgical patients

PT and OT Functional Score
CMS will use 10 Section GG items to calculate the PT and OT Function Score. This includes 4 late loss ADLs and 2 early loss ADLs
• Two bed mobility items• Three transfer items• One eating items• One toileting item• One oral hygiene item• Two walking items
GG goes from a 6‐point scale (with 3 not attempted codes) to 0‐4 point scale for Function Score purposes

CMS will use a modified version of the RUG‐IV Nursing Categories
CMS reduced the number of Nursing RUGs from 43 to 25.
This was accomplished by collapsing case‐mix groups that have contiguous ADL scores when those RUGs were defined by similar clinical traits
We will look at Table 26 in a few slides.

seagroverehab.com39
Interim Payment Assessment
Requirements
‐ The IPA is an optional assessment‐ The ARD for the IPA will be the date the
facility chooses to complete the assessment relative to the triggering event that cause the facility to choose the IPA.
‐ Payment for the IPA will begin on the same day as the ARD.
‐ The IPA is not susceptible to assessment penalties
seagroverehab.com40
11/16/2018

Proposed Interim Payment Assessment
Requirements(1) There is a change in the resident’s classification in at least one of the first tier classification criteria for any of the components under the proposed PDPM(which are those clinical or nursing payment criteria identified in the firstcolumn in Tables 21, 23, 26, and 27 – PT/OT, SLP, Nursing, NTA) such that the resident would be classified into a classification group for that component that differs from that provided by the 5‐day scheduled PPS assessment, and the change in classification group results in a change in payment either in one particular payment component or in the overall payment for the resident; and
(2) The change(s) are such that the resident would not be expected to return tohis or her original clinical status within a 14‐day period.
seagroverehab.com41
Proposed Interim Payment Assessment
Requirements
‐ In addition, we propose that the Assessment Reference Date (ARD) for the IPA would be no later than 14 days after a change in a resident’s first tierclassification criteria is identified. The IPA is meant to capture substantialchanges to a resident’s clinical condition and not every day, frequent changes.We believe 14 days gives the facility an adequate amount of time to determinewhether the changes identified are in fact routine or substantial.
‐Missed or late IPAs will be treated as missed or late unscheduled assessments

Section GG refresher
• Usual Performance• A resident’s functional status can be impacted by the environment or
situations encountered at the facility. Observing the resident’s interactions with others in different locations and circumstances is important for a comprehensive understanding of the resident’s functional status. If the resident’s functional status varies, record the resident’s usual ability to perform each activity. Do not record the resident’s best performance and do not record the resident’s worst performance, but rather record the resident’s usual performance. RAI, page GG‐9

Assessment Period: Admission This functional assessment must be completed within the first three days
(3 calendar days) of the Medicare Part A stay, starting with the date in A2400B, Start of Most Recent Medicare Stay, and the following two days, ending at 11:59 PM on day 3. The admission function scores are to reflect the resident’s admission baseline status and are to be based on an assessment. The scores should reflect the resident’s status prior to any benefit from interventions. The assessment should occur, when possible, prior to the resident benefitting from treatment interventions in order to determine the resident’s true admission baseline status. Even if treatment started on the day of admission, a baseline functional status assessment can still be conducted. Treatment should not be withheld in order to conduct the functional assessment.

PT and OT Components
Section GG refresher• Tips for Coding
• If the resident performs the activity more than once during the assessment period and the resident’s performance varies, coding in Section GG should be based on the resident’s “usual performance,” which is identified as the resident’s usual activity/performance for any of the Self‐Care or Mobility activities, not the most independent or dependent performance over the assessment period.
• Therefore, if the resident’s Self‐Care performance varies during the assessment period, report the resident’s usual performance, not the resident’s most independent performance and not the resident’s most dependent performance. A provider may need to use the entire three‐day assessment period to obtain the resident’s usual performance. RAI page GG‐13

PT and OT Components
Definition: Qualified Clinician: Healthcare professionals practicing within their scope of practice and
consistent with Federal, State, and local law and regulations.
seagroverehab.com58
PT and OT Components
Steps for Assessment1. Assess the resident’s self‐care performance based on direct observation,
as well as the resident’s self‐report and reports from qualified clinicians, care staff, or family documented in the resident’s medical record during the three‐day assessment period.
CMS anticipates that an interdisciplinary team of qualified clinicians is involved in assessing the resident during the three‐day assessment period. For Section GG, the admission assessment period is the first three days of the Part A stay starting with the date in A2400B, the Start of Most Recent Medicare Stay. On admission, these items are completed only when A0310B = 01 (5‐Day PPS assessment).
11/16/2018

seagroverehab.com59
PT and OT Components
Steps for Assessment2. Residents should be allowed to perform activities as independently as
possible, as long as they are safe.
3. For the purposes of completing Section GG, a “helper” is defined as facility staff who are direct employees and facility‐contracted employees (e.g., rehabilitation staff, nursing agency staff). Thus, “helper” does not include individuals hired, compensated or not, by individuals outside of the facility’s management and administration such as hospice staff, nursing/certified nursing assistant students, etc. Therefore, when helper assistance is required because a resident’s performance is unsafe or of poor quality, consider only facility staff when scoring according to theamount of assistance provided.
seagroverehab.com60
PT and OT Components
Steps for Assessment4. Activities may be completed with or without assistive device(s). Use of
assistive device(s) to complete an activity should not affect coding of the activity.
5. The admission functional assessment, when possible, should be conducted prior to the person benefitting from treatment interventions in order to determine a true baseline functional status on admission. If treatment has started, for example, on the day of admission, a baseline functional status assessment can still be conducted. Treatment should not be withheld in order to conduct the functional assessment.

Skilled Criteria
Benefit Policy Manual, chapter 8 is not changing based on PDPM payment rules.
Skilled for therapy is still 5+ days per week.
• Services must be skilled and medically necessary and require the skills of a licensed therapist.
• To count a day as a day of therapy must provide 15 minutes of therapy throughout the day.
Skilled for Nursing is requiring a nursing skilled service 7 days per week.

Now What? Industry Changes?
Therapy utilization?• Assume that therapy utilization will decrease
May mean that there is a decreased demand for therapists nationwide.
Therapist salaries?
Is this “PPS lite” for the therapy portion of the industry?
Could “in‐house” therapy be an option or a reality for your facility?
seagroverehab.com108
11/16/2018

Some Concerns About the Model
Rationing of therapy.
Modified Section O on discharge assessment seen as helpful to the therapy community.
How will it be handled if one discipline misses a few days? (sick therapist, holiday, staffing issues)
Use of Section GG seen as a good thing, but “usual performance” to drive resource allocation?
Auditors may try to apply rules that do not apply to this model well after the fact (paid for SLP, but didn’t provide it to a specific patient, auditor may try to take those funds back)
seagroverehab.com109
CMS Oversight per Final Rule
CMS indicated that they would be monitoring provider behavior…
• Looking for drastic changes in volume of therapy as compared to RUG‐IV.
• Looking for compliance with group and concurrent therapy limit.
• Looking for an increase in mechanically altered diet in SNF population that may suggest beneficiaries are being prescribed such a diet based on facility financial considerations rather than clinical need.

CMS Oversight per Final Rule
CMS indicated that they would be monitoring provider behavior…
• Use of Use of the interrupted‐stay policy to identify SNFs whose residents experience frequent readmission, particularly facilities where the readmissions occur just outside the 3‐day window used as part of the interrupted‐stay policy.
• Stroke and trauma patients, as well as those with chronic conditions, to identify any adverse trends from application of the variable per‐diem adjustment.
• Facilities whose beneficiaries experience inappropriate early discharge or provision of fewer services (e.g., due to the variable per‐diem adjustment).

Contract Models
The usual contract therapy contract will no longer “work”
Part B will continue “as is”
seagroverehab.com112
11/16/2018
57
Contract Models
New Contracting Models
• Contract should align incentives as much as possible• Diminish misalignment of incentives• There should be some sort of “value” piece included in
the contract • Built in compliance• Assist with capturing revenue where appropriate
seagroverehab.com113
Contract Models – 6 scenarios
1. Cost per Minute
• Simple model – SNF pays X amount for each minute of therapy provided, not based on per diem rate.
• No alignment of incentives – More therapy, more revenue for contractor but not for SNF.
• All risk on SNF to manage therapy volume against Medicare revenue.
• Unpredictable pricing model.• Incentives misaligned.
seagroverehab.com114
11/16/2018
58
Contract Models – 6 scenarios
2. Risk Share
• Contractor paid a percentage of the PT/OT/and ST component of the per diem.
• Risk is shared with contractor as they are only paid based on component and they must manage volume of therapy.
• Contractor participating in revenue capture for SNF means increased revenue for contractor.
• Contractor and SNF must manage and monitor outcomes to ensure adequate volume of therapy is being provided.
• May include a quality component.• SNF guaranteed margin for each type of patient.• Incentives mostly aligned.
seagroverehab.com115
Contract Models – 6 scenarios
3. Time on‐site
• Simple model where contractor is paid for every hour staff are on‐site.
• Risk is on SNF to manage contractor labor and ensure they are providing service while on‐site.
• No incentive for contractor to assist SNF with case management or revenue generation.
• Incentives are misaligned.
seagroverehab.com116
11/16/2018
59
Contract Models – 6 scenarios
4. Levels – capitated per diem
• Sets a certain number of therapy minutes for a certain type (or level) of patient. Much the same as the “level” Managed Care model
• Risk is on SNF to case manage, but therapy labor cost is set.
• This model has a lot of areas that are to be determined and could change per SNF.
seagroverehab.com117
Contract Models – 6 scenarios
5. Capitated per diem rate
• One flat rate for every patient day no matter various patient issues.
• Risk is shifted to contractor to manage therapy volume while achieving SNF‐expected outcomes.
• Lack of industry experience with PDPM makes this model hard to manage and may need to be adjusted more frequently than annually.
• Predictable cost to SNF.
seagroverehab.com118
11/16/2018
60
Contract Models – 6 scenarios
6. Percentage of overall per diem
• Contractor paid a percentage of the overall per diem.• Much like the risk‐share model, but based on overall patient
revenue vs PT, OT, and ST components.• Risk is shared with contractor as they are only paid based on per
diem and they must manage volume of therapy.• Contractor participating in revenue capture for SNF means
increased revenue for contractor.• Contractor and SNF must manage and monitor outcomes to ensure
adequate volume of therapy is being provided.• May include a quality component.• SNF guaranteed margin for each type of patient.
7. In‐house therapy is always an option for some
