The legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on July 26, 2022, when the House Rules Committee moved the <u><em>Advancing Telehealth Beyond COVID-19 Act<\/em><\/u> forward in an almost unanimous vote.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, H.R.4040 bill modifies the extension of certain Medicare telehealth flexibilities after the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency and allows those certain flexibilities continue to apply until December 31, 2024, if the emergency period ends before that date. The bill allows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>beneficiaries to continue to receive telehealth services at any site, regardless of type or location (e.g., the beneficiary&#8217;s home).<\/li>\n<li>occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and audiologists to continue to furnish telehealth services.<\/li>\n<li>federally qualified health centers and rural health clinics to continue to serve as the distant site (i.e., the location of the health care practitioner).<\/li>\n<li>evaluation and management and behavioral health services to continue to be provided via audio-only technology; and<\/li>\n<li>hospice physicians and nurse practitioners to continue to complete certain requirements relating to patient recertifications via telehealth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>\u201cThe bill gives Congress, Medicare, and stakeholders time to produce a permanent policy with any necessary program integrity measures and benefit qualifications on a complex set of issues,\u201d said NAHC President William A. Dombi. \u201cFor home health and hospice, it preserves, at least temporarily, the very valuable option of telehealth visits to meet the face-to-face encounter requirements under the respective benefits.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This bill opens the doors for an additional discussion and consideration related to the opportunity for providers to be paid for the telehealth services and brings the industry one step closer to permanently expanding telehealth services.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/amityhealthcaregroup.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=4db975c828d050c5d07860b6b&amp;id=05b60759f6&amp;e=e99772d279\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/amityhealthcaregroup.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D4db975c828d050c5d07860b6b%26id%3D05b60759f6%26e%3De99772d279&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1660909537041000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3huwKc23adGbg_EBG9IFWt\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"m_-3229069060802740151mcnImage CToWUd\" src=\"https:\/\/ci5.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/Urd2usLIvck_vcClucc02OJ56AnHRqZ6PBNjsX6x08KnKNY-xTlzfsgworugPE3Gh5WmxQLBVtTxZQtlMIvD7KoPP5ruvgXRKMEHz4MO8zCEFIgUWBt7yB-r2Nw0xt6pyEcEZqJZDzgvfR00NLmxKIcnXu16NA=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/4db975c828d050c5d07860b6b\/images\/df6e7eed-866d-dde1-8aa0-06b20be9bd36.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" data-bit=\"iit\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_-3229069060802740151mcnTextContent\"><strong><u>CMS Issues NOA System Corrections<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) has release <a href=\"https:\/\/amityhealthcaregroup.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=4db975c828d050c5d07860b6b&amp;id=e66a213369&amp;e=e99772d279\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/amityhealthcaregroup.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D4db975c828d050c5d07860b6b%26id%3De66a213369%26e%3De99772d279&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1660909537041000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0zAKiS1WaacloAH3YOj4SX\">Change Request<\/a> (CR) 12790 with the purpose to modify original Medicare systems to ensure prior periods are updated correctly when a Notice of Admission is canceled. It also ensures medical review information is not removed when claims are subsequently adjusted due to period sequence edits.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_-3229069060802740151mcnTextContent\">According to the CR 12790, when an NOA is submitted indicating the beneficiary transferred from another home health agency (HHA) and the NOA \u201cfrom\u201d date falls within the HH period of care of the previous HHA, the \u201cend\u201d date of the previous period is truncated to allow the transfer. If a transfer NOA is submitted in error and subsequently canceled, the TOB 032D will remove the transfer HHA\u2019s admission period but will not restore the original calculated 30-day End date on the period of the previous HHA. This requires the previous HHA to cancel and resubmit their NOA before any of their claims can be processed. This is an avoidable administrative burden on that HHA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Also, Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) have reported an issue with claims which have been medically reviewed and are later identified for adjustment due to an incorrect period sequence. In processing the adjustment, Medicare systems changes the User Action Code from the code applied by the medical review to \u201cZ.\u201d This erase additional medical review coding on the claim.<\/p>\n<p>If the provider is still on review, this will trigger an unnecessary additional record request to the provider. If the provider is no longer being reviewed, the claim continues processing without the medical review coding, which impacts medical review reporting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please note that the updates are effective for claims processed on or after January 1, 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_-3229069060802740151mcnTextContent\"><u>CMS Releases Quarterly OASIS FAQs<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/amityhealthcaregroup.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=4db975c828d050c5d07860b6b&amp;id=a23dfb59aa&amp;e=e99772d279\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/amityhealthcaregroup.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D4db975c828d050c5d07860b6b%26id%3Da23dfb59aa%26e%3De99772d279&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1660909537042000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0zcL2ksZbqsIWNc899baUd\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"m_-3229069060802740151mcnImage CToWUd\" src=\"https:\/\/ci5.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/QwE0KVRv2jFpiCQBpa8FRzTW0sCLkgnV1QVQc5aPiAHeOZf9t5IZuzhQE1l2S1OReD5ZUYM5QQwpIev7c5fM80jnVA_pQkfxkrESNGveDBrS8MKlMkpz3MGpNEiMaoYiNNoz-Sjg9Anf41rhnoRE3sq51HHurw=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/4db975c828d050c5d07860b6b\/images\/83b865d6-8da1-ccd0-4657-dcf66f76160c.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"294\" data-bit=\"iit\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_-3229069060802740151mcnTextContent\">The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released the July, 2022 Quarterly Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) (please view <a href=\"https:\/\/amityhealthcaregroup.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=4db975c828d050c5d07860b6b&amp;id=3352387d3f&amp;e=e99772d279\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/amityhealthcaregroup.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D4db975c828d050c5d07860b6b%26id%3D3352387d3f%26e%3De99772d279&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1660909537042000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0GDSVuLy5fMwoONesn9Zsw\">HERE<\/a>).<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_-3229069060802740151mcnTextContent\">Please note that this FAQ release clarifies questions on items that are included in the OASIS-E. \u00a0CMS also noted that at times it provides new or refined instruction in the FAQs document that supersedes previously published guidance.
