Question 1 of 4

1. Question
Based on the SNF PPS Final Rule for FY2023, ALL the following Medicare Part A changes are TRUE EXCEPT which one?
- CMS released a new ICD-10 Code Mapping File for FY2023 to replace the prior file, with minor changes to how some codes are mapped for the PT and OT Components
- Over the next 2 years, SNFs have to pay CMS back for the overpayments that resulted from the transition from RUG-IV to PDPM in 2019. The "overpayments" were a result of SNFs changing the way the MDS questions were coded, resulting in higher PDPM scores than initially predicted.
- The chances of incurring a 2% Part A payment penalty for not adequately reporting SNF Quality Reporting Program Measure data has increased, as there are now 3 AREAS that if not reported accurately, will trigger the penalty, including: Submitting at least 80% of Part A MDSs that are 100% complete (no dashes in required questions), AND Reporting BOTH COVID-19 AND Influenza Vaccination Data to the National Healthcare Safety Network in the required timeline.
- CMS has decided to return to the RUG-IV payment model in October, and do away with PDPM.

Question 2 of 4

2. Question
ALL the following are TRUE about Medicare Part B changes for 1/1/2023 EXCEPT:
- The payment reduction of 15% that began on 1/1/22 for services that are provided "in whole" or "in part" by an Assistant, as identified by using the CO or CQ modifier on the claim, will continue for 2023.
- Therapists currently providing TELEHEALTH services in the SNF (and all other settings) will no longer be permitted to do so under Medicare Part B when the 151-day extension period after Public Health Emergency ends.
- The Public Health Emergency temporary regulation changes currently allow Part B settings that require "direct" [in room] supervision of assistants (ie: Private Practice) to meet this requirement "virtually." There is legislation in progress to make this temporary change permanent, by discontinuing the "direct" supervision requirement and changing the requirement to "general" [not on site]. This does not directly impact the SNF setting, as Medicare Part A and Part B requirements for assistant supervision in the SNF are currently "general."
- Medicare Part B reimbursement rates will increase 9% on 1/1/23.
