Re: HIQA:Data Indicator Codes

[Guest guest]

Not necessarily, Kim. If disability was based strictly on ESRD, the pt may be deemed no longer disabled as soon as one year post transplant. If that happens, SSDI checks stop, the CWF eligibility code changes from a "3" to a "2", and the pt's Renal Medicare terms at the 3 yr post op mark. It's good to know what the basis for disability is so you can advise the pt on what to expect. If the pt has developed other chronic disabling conditions since they were first awarded SSD based on ESRD, he or she should be sure the new conditions are documented during disability review(s).

Hi Group!!!I am hoping you can help me with yet another Medicare question.When I am looking up a person's Medicare, there is a very handy code that Bill Vaughn showed us that should tell us how the patient became eligible for Medicare.I have a list of the codes and know where to find them.My question is, if a person has a code of 3 "has or had ESRD, currently Disability" does that mean that the patient has a qualifier for Medicare in addition to dialysis and they will be able to keep thier Medicare 3 years after transplant?Any advice will help!Thank you in advance!Kim , TFCMemorial Medical CenterSpringfield, IL

Hi !

So, what would be the differenc of a code 2 and a code 3? Is it

just that with a code 3 they are collecting a disability check and

the code 2's aren't?

Thanks

Kim

Hi.

In my program to look up Medicare, it actually has DI 0000000000

in the 4# is the code that I look for.

So it usually looks like DI 0002000000

Hope that helps
