Sequestration is effective for Services rendered on or after 4\/1\/2013. It will be prorated for FYE overlapping 4\/1\/2013 (e.g. a 6\/30\/2013 FYE has 91 days of Sequestration, so 91\/365, times 2%, will be the reduction percentage, or about .50%). Bad Debt changes are effective for FY Begin 10\/1\/2012 and after, so a 7\/1\/2012 to 6\/30\/2013 FY is not affected.<\/p>\n
We are awaiting the Hospital (2552-10) Transmittal #4 from CMS, which is to have the Sequestration and Bad Debt Changes (as well as other changes for the ACA). CMS has not released a draft of T-4 as of 7\/25\/2013. This will be our Version 4.x.x.x. <\/p>\n
We received Transmittal #5 for the 2540-10 (SNF), which incorporated the Sequestration and Bad Debt changes. We have submitted a test case and are awaiting CMS approval of our system. This will be our Version 5.x.x.x.<\/p>\n
We received Transmittal #2 for the 265-11 (ESRD), which incorporated the Sequestration and Bad Debt changes. We have submitted a test case and are awaiting CMS approval of our system. This will be our Version 2.x.x.x.<\/p>\n
We received Transmittal #16 for the 1728-94 (HHA), which incorporated the Sequestration and Bad Debt changes. We have submitted a test case and are awaiting CMS approval of our system. This will be our Version 16.x.x.x.<\/p>\n
We received Transmittal #11 for the 222-92 (RHC\/FQHC), which incorporated the Sequestration and Bad Debt changes. We have submitted a test case and are awaiting CMS approval of our system. This will be our Version 11.x.x.x.<\/p>\n
We received Transmittal #8\/9 for the 2088-92 (CMHC), which incorporated the Sequestration and Bad Debt changes. We have submitted a test case and are awaiting CMS approval of our system. This will be our Version 9.x.x.x.<\/p>\n
The 216-94, OPO system, is the only approved system \u201con the street\u201d with the Sequestration changes incorporated (Bad Debt is N\/A). This is our Version 5.4.145.0.<\/p>\n
CMS released a Draft of the new Hospice, 1984-14 forms and instructions for industry comments 5\/29\/2013. This is to be effective for FY Begin 1\/1\/2014 and after. Once comments are addressed and CMS issues the Final, we will know more about what changes are to be made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
