Note from the Instructor | What CDI professionals need to know about the 2019 IPPS proposed rule | By Allen Frady, RN-BSN, CCDS, CCS, CRC Following the March Coordination and Maintenance Committee meeting on ICD-10, CMS released a number of code changes for the proposed fiscal year (FY) 2019 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS). In addition to code changes, CMS has also proposed a few changes to CC/MCC designations and quality measures under the IPPS. Before we dig into the changes, please remember that all these changes are only proposed. The final rule may look much different from the proposed version we have in front of us. For the time being, my recommendation is to review this article and a couple others and sit tight for the final rule. The real work and research will come in the August when the final rule documents are published. |
