Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Rick. I read this over and it seems to be a proposed rule. And a good one at that. We then asked our local Medicare person and she told us it was not yet final. Tell me it isn't so!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Pierre, It is final, but CMS is accepting comments on the final rule. Here is the link to the final rule. If you read the first page, it will give you the effective date of most of the final rule with 2 sections being final on July 1, 2008 and another section being final on January 1, 2009. http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan20071800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/200\ 7/pdf/07-5506.pdf Rick Gawenda, PT President, Section on Health Policy & Administration APTA --- " Rougny, Pierre " wrote: > Rick.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hello Everyone! Concerning the 90 day certification/re-certification rule....... I have contacted our CMS contractor (Noridian who covers 13 states including Montana, ND, SD, AZ, CO, etc.). I have been informed by their MC Part B dept that the 90 day rule has not been implemented and is still proposed. They (Noridian) are still operating under the 30 day POC certification / recertification rule). The manager of this list serve denied a posting by myself last week in regards to this rule and stated that the 90 day recert rule was implemented as of 1/1/08. I welcome any direction here as to where this is stated by CMS so I can point this out to Noridian and save us all some headaches. We, at our practice, are continuing to operate under the 30 day rule until Noridian is updated. Thanks for your comments. Chad Chad W. Yoakam, MS, PT Manager of Rehabilitation Services Livingston HealthCare Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Institute ________________________________ From: PTManager [mailto:PTManager ] On Behalf Of Rougny, Pierre Sent: Friday, January 04, 2008 3:12 PM To: PTManager Subject: RE: 90 day certification Rick.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Chad, Our facility has encountered the same response from our CMS contractor here in IL, that the 90 day recert is proposed, and only for CORF's, and they are operating under the 30 day rule for recertification. I have provided our Director of Patient Financial Services with copies of the pages from the transmittal for when she speaks with our contractor again. a Eppenstein, PT njoy Hospital Wheaton, IL Re: 90 day certification Please read page 112-113 of the link below.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 List Serv, The 90 day certification period is for all outpatient settings. It is not proposed. It is final and not proposed. CMS has not issued the Change Request yet notifying the contractors of the change. This will be out soon and will be retro to January 1, 2008. Read page 112-113 and page 185 of the November 27, 2007 Federal Register. http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan20071800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/200\ 7/pdf/07-5506.pdf Rick Gawenda, PT President, Section on Health Policy & Administration APTA --- a Eppenstein wrote: > Chad, > > Our facility has encountered the same response from > our CMS contractor here in IL, that the 90 day > recert is proposed, and only for CORF's, and they > are operating under the 30 day rule for > recertification.
