MSC+, SeniorCare Complete, AbilityCare: Check appropriate box

General Information: (Member name, ID name, DOB, Facility Name, Contact Person, Facility Contact Phone number, Provider NPI #, County that the Nursing Home is located, Nursing Home fax number) It is important to include your fax number and phone number so if we have questions we can contact you in a timely manner.

Admission information: Date of Initial Admission – when the member was first admitted to that nursing home.

Admitting Diagnosis: Please use ICD-10 code and description.

Admission (A), Change (C), Discharge (D):

  • Admission (A) is the day the member was admitted, transferred, readmitted to your facility.
  • Change (C) is when the member has had a change in medical condition resulting in change in the Medicare or State Case Mix RUG category. The member may be changing from skilled care to non-skilled care or vice versa.
  • Discharge (D) is used if the member went home, expired, transferred to the hospital or to another skilled nursing facility.

Effective Date: Date of the Admission, Change or Discharge.

Reason Code: List the reason why the member’s current stay is being changed in some way. SCHA needs to track the Medicare, Medicaid, bed hold, and Hospice days while the member is in the SNF.

**Intensive Service Days must be prior authorized by Mayo Clinic Health Solutions. ISD days allow the SNF to increase the member’s level of care in order to prevent hospitalization.

Inpatient Admission: Is there an inpatient admission associated with this admission, or change in case mix? If so, how many days was the member inpatient?

# of Medicare “A” days used: Document the number of Medicare skilled days used since admission or the during the current skilled episode.

Medicare/State Case Mix RUG Code: Document the associated level of care for the admission or change. Medicare RUG codes for skilled days and State Case Mix codes for Medicaid days. We understand that on admission, the RUG code will be an estimate.

# of non-skilled days used: Document the number of Medicaid days used (this is in conjunction with the Medicare days). For example, if the member uses 100 skilled days and then becomes non-skilled care, the 100 Medicare days would come out of the 180 days. SCHA may continue to pay for 80 more non-skilled days to the benefit max of 180 days. DHS has liability for SeniorCare Complete nursing facility that were on PMAP before the passive enrollment on 01/01/06. SCHA would have liability for the SNF days on SeniorCare Complete.

Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC): With the documented change in skill or coverage, did you facility issue a NOMNC to the member? Date the NOMNC was given to the member?

If you have any questions, contact Provider Services at 1-800-995-4543.
