Case-Mix Desk Reference: Case-Mix Made Simple

CMS has completely redefined the OASIS questions and ICD-9 codes that factor into the HHRG and drive payments in the 2008 PPS. The number of HHRGs (which is the core of PPS payments) has doubled and clinical and quality managers need to understand the multiple pieces of the complex new formula to ensure that your agency gets paid accurately. This easy-to-use tool, Case-Mix Desk Reference: Case-mix Made Simple, provides your clinical managers with the first-ever step-by-step guide for building a HHRG and determining episode payment and non-routine supply payments.
