Hospice April 1 Changes


April 1 Hospice Changes
Your hospice pharmacy needs to send you an invoice in spreadsheet form that includes at least these columns:
Chart#, date, national drug code, measurement, quantity, cost, med name, OTC y/n.
Medication reporting will occur on the hospice per diem screen, where you will either manually enter or import the spreadsheet from your hospice provider invoice..
Barnestorm set up new revenue codes for reporting medications for you. 

You'll need to set up one new job code each for nursing, aide, and SW, that is the same exact as the current hospice job code, but includes the PM modifier in field Mod1. This will be used per CR8358 for visits on the day of death.

Hospice Facility Stay Dates
You must identify the name & address of any non-private residence location of a hospice patient. These facilities should be entered in Codes > Other Basic Codes > Doctors as facilities with NPI number. Barnestorm's NPI database should include the facility name as it's listed, so if you identify what type of facility it is, then the first word of the name, and Search NPPES, it will list facilities you can select from. Then, on the hospice facility list in Billing > Other> Enter HH location / Hospice Facility Dates. Select a hospice patient and identify the facility and dates.

Visit rounding to 15-minute units is already in place in Barnestorm.

QAPI Changes
There's a site where you need to register (create a login)--that is listed on the link above. 

By April 1 at midnight, you'll put in the last year's data, which is only 3 numbers.
If you've been using the Barnestorm QAPI screen, you will have the stats you need. The QAPI report is there. There is also a report there for hospice patients with no QAPI data recorded, so you can determine which info you need to fill in.
