Action Required

Action needed
Immediately: Billing team must ensure all inpatient ventilator bed claims for Chronic Disease Hospitals use Z99.11 (dependence on a ventilator) as the primary diagnosis code and Revenue Center Code 100. For patients who move in/out of ventilator beds during a stay, submit separate claims for ventilator days vs non-ventilator days. Update billing system to flag these requirements to capture the $500 add-on rate.
