$TXT Created by HARPER,AMY R at DEVFEX.FO-ALBANY.MED.VA.GOV (KIDS) on Friday, 02/13/04 at 17:35 ============================================================================= Run Date: MAR 03, 2004 Designation: IB*2*175 Package : IB - INTEGRATED BILLING Priority: Mandatory Version : 2 SEQ #231 Status: Released Compliance Date: APR 03, 2004 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)IB*2*245 <<= must be installed BEFORE `IB*2*175' Subject: TORT AND INTERAGENCY RATES JAN 2004 Category: - Routine Description: ============ New Tortiously Liable and Interagency billing rates for January 2004 have been published. In the past, the Tortiously Liable and Interagency rates were manually added at a site. This patch will add all the January 2004 charges, therefore manual entry will not be necessary. The Tortiously Liable rates may also be called Cost Based rates. Note that although this is not an update to Reasonable Charges rates, the Tortiously Liable Prescription charge is used for the same payers as Reasonable Charges. Therefore the Prescription charge billed to these payers is increased by this patch to $45. New Tortiously Liable, Cost Based, and Interagency Charges ---------------------------------------------------------- This patch will install the January 2004 Tortiously Liable, Cost Based and, Interagency rates into the Charge Master. See the Directives for the specific charge amounts. These rates will have an effective date of 01/07/04. New Billable Bedsection for PRRTP --------------------------------- There has been one change from previous versions of Tortiously Liable and Interagency rates. A new Billable Bedsection has been added for Psychosocial Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Programs (PRRTP). The following Treating Specialties have been moved from their previous Billable Bedsection to the new PRRTP Billable Bedsection. Code Treating Specialty Previous Billable Bedsection ---- ---------------------------- ---------------------------- 25 PSYCH RESID REHAB TRMT PROG PSYCHIATRIC CARE 26 PTSD RESIDENTIAL REHAB PROG PSYCHIATRIC CARE 27 SUBSTANCE ABUSE RES TRMT PROG ALCOHOL AND DRUG TREATMENT 28 HOMELESS CWT/TRANS RESID PSYCHIATRIC CARE 29 SUBST ABUSE CWT/TRANS RESID PSYCHIATRIC CARE 38 PTSD CWT/TR PSYCHIATRIC CARE 39 GENERAL CWT/TR PSYCHIATRIC CARE Care on and after the effective date of the new charges in these Treating Specialties will be associated with the PRRTP Billable Bedsection. All previous care will continue to be applied to the previous Billable Bedsection. Charges for Tort Feasor Bills ----------------------------- Previously, Tort Feasor type bills were charged using Tortiously Liable Charges. The Directives mentioned above changed the charges to be used for Tort Feasor to Reasonable Charges. Tort Feasor care, that occurs on and after 01/07/04, will be billed using Reasonable Charges.
