CMS- Patient Driven Payment Model Effective October 01, 2019
by Christine Woolstenhulme, QCC, QMCS, CPC, CMRS December 19th, 2019
According to CMS, In July 2018, CMS finalized a new case-mix classification model, the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM), that, effective beginning October 1, 2019, will be used under the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Prospective Payment System (PPS) for classifying SNF patients in a covered Part A stay.
Using the new Patient-Driven Care model should make physicians' lives easier using fewer ICD-10 codes and eventually see higher reimbursements for patients with more complex medical problems and co-morbidities.
