Summary
Maryland Medicaid nursing home interim rates are updated for fiscal year 2000, effective July 1, 1999 through September 30, 1999. Bed reservation billing procedures changed - acute hospitalization must use code N0005 and therapeutic leave must use code N0006, with no hard copy documentation required.
Action Required
Immediately: Nursing home billing teams must update billing systems to use procedure code N0005 for bed reservation days during acute hospitalization and code N0006 for bed reservation days during therapeutic leave. Stop sending hard copy bed hold documentation with invoices - maintain documentation in patient records for Utilization Control Agent review only. Update rate schedules with new interim rates provided in facility-specific rate letters.
