“…we are clarifying that hospices will report all diagnoses identified in the initial and comprehensive assessments on hospice claims , whether related or unrelated to the terminal prognosis of the individual.”
Existing standard practice for hospices: include the related and unrelated diagnoses on the patient's plan of care in order to assure coordinated, holistic patient care and to monitor the effectiveness of the care that is delivered.
Medicare requires that the hospice complete a comprehensive hospice assessment that identifies the patient’s physical, psychosocial, emotional, and spiritual needs related to the terminal illness and related conditions, and address those needs in order to promote the hospice patient’s well-being, comfort, and dignity throughout the dying process.
Palliative chemo or palliative radiation for pain and symptom management needed. Told not covered by Medicare because “curative.” Patients revoked hospice benefit in order to receive treatments to alleviate pain. (Medicare says these treatments ARE covered under the hospice benefit.)
Functional quadriplegia (code R53.2) is the lack of ability to use one’s limbs or to ambulate due to extreme debility. It is not associated with neurologic deficit or injury, and code R53.2 should not be used for cases of neurologic quadriplegia. It should only be assigned if functional quadriplegia is specifically documented in the medical record.
Related conditions’: “Clinically, related conditions are any physical or mental condition(s) that are related to or caused by either the terminal illness or the medications used to manage the terminal illness.”
