Inpatient
Accommodation and Ancillary Charges:
If the individual accommodation and ancillary services exceed the detail lines on the UB-04
claim form, providers may combine all similar revenue code charges together (e.g., lab,
radiology) when necessary. Accommodation codes may also be 'lumped' together when
necessary. This will not affect the reimbursement of the claim.
Admission and Readmission (Same Day):
Admission
An inpatient admission starts when the physician writes an order for an inpatient admission. It
is not considered inpatient until that order has been written. Documented verbal admission
orders are considered the same as written orders.
• Scenario #1: A patient is sent to the medical floor on September 23 at 11:00 p.m. The
physician writes an order to admit the patient on September 24 at 3:00 a.m. According to
KMAP, the inpatient admission starts on September 24 at 3:00 a.m.
• Scenario #2: A physician writes an order for a patient to be admitted inpatient on
September 23 at 11:00 p.m. The patient arrives on the medical floor on September 24 at
3:00 a.m. According to KMAP, the inpatient admission starts on September 23 at
11:00 p.m.
• Scenario #3: A physician contacts a hospital on September 23 at 11:00 p.m. about a direct
admission and gives a verbal order for admission once the patient arrives at the hospital.
The patient arrives at the hospital on September 24 at 3:00 a.m. According to KMAP, the
inpatient admission starts on September 24 at 3:00 a.m.
Readmission (Same Day)
When a patient is discharged or transferred from an inpatient hospital and is readmitted to the
same inpatient hospital on the same day for symptoms related to or for evaluation and
management of the prior stay’s medical condition, hospitals must adjust the original claim
generated by the original stay by combining the original and subsequent stay onto a
single claim.
When a patient is discharged or transferred from an inpatient hospital and is readmitted to the
same inpatient hospital on the same day for symptoms unrelated to and not for evaluation and
management of the prior stay’s medical condition, hospitals must bill for two separate stays
on two separate claims.
Emergency Renal Dialysis:
Inpatient emergency renal dialysis must be billed utilizing revenue code 809 in FL 42 of the
UB-04 claim form.
Interim Billing:
Interim billing is restricted to once every 180 days. Interim bills received more frequently
than 180 days will be denied. When interim billing, be sure to enter the appropriate 'Type of
Bill' code (e.g., 112, 113, 114). A 'Patient Status' code of 30 (still a patient) must be

Newborn Services (When the Mother Is NOT in an MCO)
When billing for a newborn who does not have a beneficiary ID number, use "Newborn",
"Baby Girl", or "Baby Boy" in the first name field of patient name. Use the newborn's date
of birth and the mother's beneficiary ID number. The claim will suspend in the claims
processing system for up to 45 days pending the fiscal agent's receipt of the newborn's
beneficiary ID number from the KMAP eligibility system. If the newborn's beneficiary ID
number is received within the 45 days, the claim will be processed using that number. If the
newborn's beneficiary ID number is not received within the 45 days, the claim will complete
processing with the mother's beneficiary ID number.
Newborn Services (When the Mother Is in an MCO)
Notify the MCO that the mother is assigned to at the time of birth. The MCO will provide
further instructions if the provider is part of that MCO’s network. The mother's MCO will
notify Kansas Health Policy Authority (KHPA) and the fiscal agent of the birth.
Outpatient/Inpatient
Outpatient procedures (including, but not limited to, surgery, X-rays and EKGs) provided
within three days of a hospital admission for the same or similar diagnosis are considered
content of service and must be billed on the same inpatient hospital claim. The outpatient
procedure date should be changed on the claim to correspond with the actual hospital
admission date.
Note: There is one exception to this policy. Complications from an outpatient sterilization
resulting in an inpatient admission. In this instance, the outpatient charges and the inpatient
charges should be billed on two separate claims. This is necessary in order for the service
dates on the claim form to match the service dates on the Sterilization Consent Form.
Outpatient Services Provided During Inpatient Admission
Outpatient services provided during an inpatient hospital stay must be included by the hospital
on the UB-04 claim form and reimbursed through the DRG. The outpatient provider should
receive reimbursement from the hospital. Outpatient services provided to residents of state
institutions must be billed by the hospital providing the outpatient service.
Present on Admission (POA) Indicators
Effective October 1, 2008, all claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care
hospitals will require submission of POA indicator(s). POA is defined as present at the time
the order for inpatient admission occurs – conditions that develop during an outpatient
encounter, including emergency department, observation, or outpatient surgery, are
considered as POA. Critical access hospitals, Maryland-waiver hospitals, long-term care
hospitals, cancer hospitals, and children’s inpatient facilities are exempt from this
requirement.
POA indicator is assigned to principal and secondary or other diagnoses (as defined in
Appendix I of the Official Coding Guidelines for Coding and Reporting) and the external
cause of injury codes. The validity of the POA indicator will be edited and claims are subject
to denying when the POA indicator is invalid. The hospital will need to supply the correct
POA indicator(s) and resubmit the claim.
KANSAS MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
HOSPITAL PROVIDER MANUAL
BILLING INSTRUCTIONS
7-14
7020. Updated 12/08
A POA indicator for the external cause of injury code is not required unless it is being
reported as an “other diagnosis” on the UB-04.
POA Indicators and Definitions
• Y (for yes): Present at the time of inpatient admission.
• N (for no): Not present at the time of inpatient admission.
• U (for unknown): The documentation is insufficient to determine if the condition was
present at the time of inpatient admission.
• W (for clinically undetermined): The provider is unable to clinically determine whether
the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission or not.
• 1 (for unreported/not used): Exempt from POA reporting.
Note: The ICD-9-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting includes a list of
diagnoses codes that are exempt from POA reporting. Use POA indicator 1 only for codes
on the list.
KMAP will not pay the complication comorbidity/major complication comorbidity (CC/MCC)
DRG for those selected hospital acquired conditions (HACs) that are coded as "U" for the
POA indicator. KMAP will not pay the CC/MCC for those selected HACs that are coded as
"1" for the POA indicator. The "1" POA indicator should not be applied to any codes on the
HAC list. These claims will deny as ungroupable, and providers will need to correct and
resubmit the claim for reimbursement. HAC information is available on the CMS website at:
http://www.cms.hhs.gov/HospitalAcqCond/06_Hospital-Acquired_Conditions.asp#TopOfPage
These POA guidelines are not intended to replace any found in the ICD-9-CM Official
Guidelines for Coding and Reporting nor are they intended to provide guidance on when a
condition should be coded. They should be used in conjunction with the UB-04 Data
Specifications Manual and the ICD-9-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting to
facilitate the assignment of the POA indicator for each “principal” diagnosis and “other”
diagnoses codes reported on claim forms (UB-04 and 837 Institutional).
Psychiatric Observation Beds
When an inpatient hospital admission follows a psychiatric observation stay, the observation
days should be billed on the inpatient claim. The observation bed days then become part of
the DRG payment to the hospital.
Transfers
When billing medically necessary incoming transfers, in FL 80 on claims for incoming
transfers from other hospitals under "Remarks" enter "direct transfer from (hospital, city)".
Swing Bed Nursing Facility
When billing for a swing bed nursing facility (NF), the following must be observed:
1)
Your hospital must be certified by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment
(KDHE) as a swing bed NF hospital.
KANSAS MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
HOSPITAL PROVIDER MANUAL
BILLING INSTRUCTIONS
7-15
7020. Updated 12/08
2)
Notify the local SRS income maintenance (IM) worker immediately when an SRS
beneficiary is placed in a swing bed NF. Notification shall be performed by
completing parts I and II of the MS-2126. (Refer to Section 7010.) Once the IM
worker has received the MS-2126, the beneficiary’s case will be budgeted for
long-term care. The hospital will then be notified via a "Notice of Action" as to the
beneficiary’s liability to the hospital while in the swing bed NF. Providers must bill
the full amount and patient liability will be deducted during processing. When billing
for a swing bed, a separate claim must be submitted for each calendar month.
Note: Do not attach a copy of either the MS-2126 or Notice of Action to your claim form.
3)
Bill all NF days for eligible Medicare patients to Medicare first. Medicaid can be
billed for any remaining amounts using the inpatient Medicare claim crossover
method. (Refer to Section 3200.) If Medicare will not pay for the NF days, a copy of
either the Medicare Report of Eligibility (ROE) or a Medicare denial must be attached
to the Medicaid billing supporting nonpayment by Medicare.
4)
Before a transfer to a swing bed NF occurs, the patient must be discharged from the
inpatient unit. Use the appropriate three-digit type of bill code in FL 4 on the UB-04
claim form. (Refer to Section 7000.) Remember, the inpatient unit is not reimbursed
for the date of discharge since the swing bed NF will be reimbursed for the date of
admission.
5)
The appropriate accommodation revenue code applicable to the patient's level of care
shall be entered in FL 42. Bill the total number of days in FL 46 (units). In FL 47,
place the total charge of days billed.
Ancillary charges: Cannot be billed on the swing bed NF claim. Any ancillary
services received by the patient while in a swing bed NF, must be billed on a UB-04
claim form using the outpatient type of bill code (FL 4) and the correct HCPCS code
and revenue code for the ancillary services provided. (See items 7 and 8 for
supplies/services which are content of service for swing bed NF and cannot be billed
separately). Indicate condition code D9 (any other change) in FL 18-28, and enter the
from and through dates of service in FL 6 on the UB-04 claim form. When multiple
dates of service are being billed, enter only the first date of service in FL 45 on the
UB-04 claim form.
Pharmacy: Pharmacy services for swing bed claims need to be billed on a pharmacy
claim form from a Medicaid-enrolled outpatient pharmacy. Refer to the Pharmacy
Provider Manual for billing instructions.
Supplies: When billing for supplies provided by the swing bed facility over and above
the supplies included in the reimbursement rate, use procedure code 99070 - bill one
unit per day. Claims must include both revenue codes and HCPCS codes.
Therapy: Physical, occupational and speech therapy may be billed as outpatient
hospital services for clients in hospital swing beds and long-term care units attached to
hospitals.
6)
With the exception of the billing guidelines addressed above, the remainder of the
claim form is to be completed in the same manner as an inpatient submission. Refer
to instructions in Section 7000 of this manual.
7)
A hospital may not charge Medicaid beneficiaries for providing routine supplies and
services since the hospital is required to provide routine supplies and services to
Medicaid swing bed patients, and the cost of providing routine supplies and services is
included in the hospital's swing bed per diem reimbursement.

Routine is defined as an item that is commonly stocked for use by anyone. It is an
item that may or may not be specifically assigned or prescribed to any one patient.
Routine items covered by the drug program when ordered by a physician for
occasional use are included in the per diem reimbursement. Since items considered to
be routine for residents of adult care homes are also considered to be routine for
swing bed NF patients, refer to Section 8400 of the Nursing/Intermediate Care
Facility Provider Manual. Any routine item billed on the outpatient hospital claim
form will be denied.
Nonroutine is defined as a specifically prescribed item for a resident for an acute or
chronic need. A medication order may be considered nonroutine if it is not a stock
item of the facility or is a stock item with unusually high usage by the individual.
End Stage Renal Disease
Providers can enroll to perform end-stage renal disease (ESRD) services with KHPA as a
provider type and specialty 30/300 (Renal Dialysis Center).
Outpatient
Note: Outpatient hospital claims which require medical necessity documentation may be billed
electronically. Medical necessity documentation must be retained in the provider's file and made
available for review on a postpay basis. Refer to your EMS Operators Manual for additional
information.
It is not required that providers roll-up their charges into the covered HCPCS code they are billing.
Providers can bill the HCPCS code they are providing, and the processing system will allow the
covered charges and deny the services that are content or noncovered.
Prosthetics and Orthotics
Hospitals must enroll as P&O providers and bill on the professional claim form (CMS-1500)
or 837 professional transaction when providing these services. Contact the Provider
Enrollment Assistance Unit at 1-800-933-6593 or 785-291-4145 (local).
Prosthetic and orthotic items cannot be billed as ancillary services on the UB-04
claim form.
Exception: Prosthesis implanted by a surgical procedure may be billed on the hospital claim
form for inpatient services.
DME Purchase/Rental
All DME services are covered for in-home use only. DME services (purchase or rental) are
noncovered in nursing facilities, swing bed facilities, state institutions, intermediate care
facilities/mental retardation (ICF/MR), psychiatric residential treatment facilities (PRTF),
head injury facilities (HI), rehab facilities, and hospitals.
If the facility receives a per diem rate for a beneficiary, the DME services are considered
content of the per diem and are the responsibility of the facility.

Modifiers for ER Services
Modifier ET must be added to the base E&M procedure code when billing the hospital
ER/observation room and supplies.
When billing for the hospital-based physician, indicate the base code only (no modifier).
Nonemergency
A revenue code is not required for any outpatient service. Use appropriate HCPCS procedure
codes. In the instance of a nonemergent visit, procedure code 99281 may be used. Submit
only your charges for the hospital-based physician professional fee and covered diagnostic
tests, endoscopic procedures, therapy, etc. Related codes include 99281ET and 99070ET.

Bilateral Procedures
Bilateral procedures performed during the same operative session shall be billed with the
appropriate procedure code. To be consistent with Medicare, if a procedure is identified in the
CPT® codebook as one that should have modifier 50 added when performed bilaterally, bill
the procedure as a single line item with modifier 50. For example, to bill the excision of
bilateral nasal polyps, the provider should indicate procedure code 3011050 on one detail line
on the claim. Reimbursement will be made for the bilateral procedure.
'E' Diagnosis Codes
External causes of injury and poisoning diagnosis ('E') codes are accepted on a claim as a
secondary diagnosis when billed in conjunction with a covered primary diagnosis code.

(e.g., delivery) and the sterilization is not covered (e.g., failure to obtain the Sterilization
Consent Form), remove all procedure codes and charges related to the sterilization from the
claim and bill the primary procedure only. Carefully document in the medical record the
reason the sterilization was not billed on the claim.

Currently, some physicians make scheduled visits once or twice a week to rural hospitals and
see patients in the emergency room which functions as their office. Physician clinic services
provided in a hospital location are considered content of the physician service and should not
be billed to Medicaid or the beneficiary. However, in this instance the hospital can bill
procedure code 99070 for use of room and supplies.
Professional Fees
The only physician services which can be billed by the hospital on the UB-04 claim form are
hospital-based physicians assigned to the emergency department.
Professional/Technical Component Billing

Performed on the Wrong Patient
Effective with claims processed on and after February 2, 2010, and retroactive to dates of service on
and after January 15, 2009, the KHPA Medical Plans will not cover a particular surgical or other
invasive procedure to treat a particular medical condition when the practitioner erroneously performs:
1) a different procedure altogether; 2) the correct procedure but on the wrong body part; or 3) the
correct procedure but on the wrong patient. Medicaid will also not cover hospitalizations and other
services related to these noncovered procedures. None of the erroneous surgeries or services are
billable to the beneficiary.
All services provided in the operating room when an error occurs are considered related and therefore
are not covered. All providers in the operating room when the error occurs who could bill
individually for their services must submit claims for these services but are not eligible for
reimbursement for these services. All of these providers must submit separate claims for these
services using the appropriate methods.
Inpatient Claims
Hospitals are required to bill two claims when the erroneous surgery(s) is reported.
• One claim with covered service(s)/procedure(s) unrelated to the erroneous surgery(s)
on a type of bill (TOB) 11X (with the exception of 110)
• One claim with the noncovered service(s)/procedure(s) related to the erroneous
surgery(s) on a TOB 110 (no-pay claim)
o The noncovered TOB 110 will be required to be submitted on the UB-04
(hard copy) claim form.
o For claims on and after January 15, 2009, through September 30, 2009,
providers are required to report in form locator (FL) 80 Remarks, one of the
applicable two-digit surgical error codes as follows:
ƒ MX: For a wrong surgery on patient
ƒ MY: For surgery on the wrong body part
ƒ MZ: For surgery on the wrong patient

Obstetrical Pelvic Sonograms
Routine obstetrical sonograms for a normal pregnancy are not covered.
One routine sonogram will be covered per fetus per pregnancy using the diagnoses V220V222. A routine obstetrical (OB) sonogram will not be covered if the sonogram is performed
solely to determine the fetal sex or to provide parents a view and photograph of the fetus.
Primary diagnosis shall support medical necessity for an OB sonogram. Some examples are:
indication of vaginal bleeding, multiple birth, diabetes, size/date discrepancy, fetal anomalies,
threatened abortion, placental/uterine abnormalities, fetal demise, maternal
drug/alcohol/tobacco use, or history of previous miscarriage, Cesarean Section, stillbirth,
ectopic pregnancy, eclampsia, or intra-uterine growth retardation.
Medical necessity may also be determined based on maternal age, maternal weight, or fetal
position. If applicable, this information should be submitted with the claim.
It may be necessary to contact the ordering physician for medical necessity information.
A biophysical profile will not be reimbursed when a complete OB sonogram has been billed
for the same date of service.
Upper Gastrointestinal Series
Upper Gastrointestinal (UGI) series are medically necessary if the primary diagnosis indicates
persistent dysphagia, melena, symptoms of UGI tract bleeding or signs and symptoms of
ulcers affecting the UGI tract after a trial of medicinal therapy has failed to relieve the
symptoms. State guidelines allow one UGI series per day, per beneficiary, regardless of
provider.
UGI series may also be medically necessary when diagnoses such as abdominal pain and
dyspepsia are used. When these common nonspecific diagnosis codes are used, additional
symptoms and/or circumstances that relate to the medical necessity of the procedure must be
indicated. Examples of additional information which will assist in adjudication of your claim
are as follows:
• Is the symptom persistent? If so, how long has the symptom persisted?
• Is the symptom recurrent? When was the last episode?
• Has the symptom or condition increased in severity?
• Was medicinal therapy initiated prior to any procedure being performed? If so, indicate
the date each therapy was initiated, name(s) of medication (list all GI related medications
tried) and the length of time each medication was tried. What was the patient's response
to each treatment?
• If a chronic condition, has there been a change in symptoms? If so, describe the
change(s).
• If cancer diagnosis codes are used, what symptoms are present that indicate UGI
involvement?
Claims for UGI X-rays are denied reimbursement when the diagnosis code on the claim is
either too nonspecific or is the result, rather than the reason, for the procedure. Whenever
possible, use the symptoms that most clearly describe the reason for the test.
It may be necessary to contact the ordering physician for medical necessity information.

Emergency Room/Department (Outpatient Hospital):
General Information:
The State of Kansas defines emergency services as follows:
KAR 30-5-58 (42) "Emergency services are those services provided after the sudden
onset of a medical condition manifested by symptoms of sufficient severity, including
severe pain, that the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be
expected to result in placing the patient's health in serious jeopardy, serious
impairment of bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part."
KAR 30-5-81 (b) (4) "Services provided in the Emergency Department shall be
emergency services."
Emergency status is determined based on conditions relating to the emergency visit, not the
patient's age and time of admission to the emergency department. Emergency department
claims are limited to one visit per beneficiary, per date of service unless accompanying
documentation verifies the necessity for more than one emergency room/department visit.
Direct physical attendance by a physician or mid-level practitioner is required in "emergency"
situations. If the physician or mid-level practitioner has not made entries on the record other
than his/her signature and/or diagnosis and documentation does not indicate that he/she had
examined the patient, the visit will not be considered emergent. Phone or standing orders do
not support emergency treatment.
Axillary temperatures are not considered accurate and will be disregarded when determining
emergent status.
Beneficiaries may go to the emergency room without a referral from their physician based on
the definition of an emergency according to a prudent layperson (as defined by the Balanced
Budget Act, 1997): What a layperson would consider an emergency in the absence of
medical knowledge. Such an emergency could include, but is not limited to: serious
impairment to bodily functions; serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part; severe pain;
or an injury/illness that places the health of the individual in serious jeopardy (and in the case
of a pregnant woman, her health or that of her unborn child).
Other Examples of Emergencies are:
o Initial treatment for medical emergencies including indications of severe chest pain,
dyspnea, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, spontaneous abortion, loss of consciousness,
status epilepticus or other conditions considered "life-threatening."
o Patients who require transfer to another facility for further treatment or who expire.
KANSAS MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

BENEFITS & LIMITATIONS

8200. Updated 3/06
Nonemergent Situations:
o Intentional non-compliance with previously ordered medications and treatments
resulting in continued symptoms of the same condition.
o Refusal to comply with currently ordered procedures/treatments such as drawing
blood for laboratory work.
o Leaving the emergency room against medical advice.
o Scheduled visits to the emergency room for procedures, examinations or medication
administration. Examples include cast changes, suture removal, dressing changes,
follow-up examinations and second opinion consultations.
o Visits made to receive a "tetanus" injection in the absence of other emergent
conditions.
o Visits made to obtain medication(s) in the absence of other emergent conditions.
The following conditions will not be considered emergent unless the criteria described has
been met:
Alcoholism in and of itself is considered nonemergent unless documentation supports an
emergent status (i.e., gastric bleeding or coma/stupor).
Ambulance: A patient brought in by ambulance does not necessarily justify an emergency
room visit.
Guidelines for Use of Air Ambulance Services:
Time: If time is a critical factor in the patient’s recovery or survival, or duration of
ground transport would be excessive and potentially detrimental, air transport may be
indicated. In general, if the ground ambulance can arrive at the destination institution
within 20 minutes, it is the preferred mode of transport.
Expertise: If the health care institution does not possess the expertise to provide the
definitive care required to stabilize the patient (i.e., advanced life support) and the
ground ambulance providers in the near vicinity cannot provide assistance in
providing that care, air transport may be indicated.
Coverage: If ground ambulance utilization leaves the service area without adequate
ground coverage and patient outcome will be compromised by arranging other ground
transport, air transport may be indicated.
Documentation: The above guidelines serve as a guide to documentation which is
necessary to determine proper reimbursement and must specify the indication and
justification for air transport. If guidelines are not met, or are met but not
documented, the billed transportation will be reimbursed at ground ambulance rates or
denied altogether.
Depression/Anxiety: Documentation must support the individual to be an immediate danger
to self or others.

Disposition: If a patient's disposition is one of the following, the visit would be considered
emergency:
a)
requires transfer to another facility for further treatment,
b)
has expired, expires enroute to the hospital or in the emergency room,
c)
requires extended observation or admission.
Fevers must be considered with other documented symptoms. Generally, temperatures less
than 103 rectally (children) or 102 orally (adults) are not considered emergent. Ear and
axillary temperatures will be considered along with additional symptoms. Reported
temperatures by patients are not acceptable for determining emergent status.
Insect Bites, Stings, Embedded Ticks: Minor insect bites (tick) with simple local reactions
only (i.e., erythema, local edema, itching) are not considered emergent.
Medical Emergency: Initial treatment and/or stabilization for medical emergencies including
indications of severe chest pain, dyspnea, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, spontaneous abortion,
loss of consciousness, status epilepticus or other conditions considered "life-threatening"
would be considered emergent. Just because these conditions may be considered "lifethreatening" at times, does not automatically indicate a Level of Care III. The Level of Care
assignment is dependent upon the severity of the situation and the services provided.
Mental Disorders such as depression or anxiety as an individual diagnosis is considered
nonemergency unless the patient is noted to be suicidal or of immediate risk to self or others.
Minor Burns/Sunburns: Minor burns/sunburns are considered nonemergent unless
documentation supports the presence of complications such as severe swelling, infection, or
the young age of the patient. Eye and chemical burns are considered emergent.
Otitis Media: If tympanic membrane is bulging or ruptured, drainage from the ear(s), fever
of 103 or above or is a child of age 3 or under and is crying inconsolably, a visit to the
emergency room would be considered emergent for consideration of otitis media. If the
physical examination reveals evidence of acute otitis media (after office hours or on the
weekend), but does not meet any of the above criteria, the ED visit may be considered
emergent because of the time of day/week.
Patient Noncompliance: Intentional noncompliance with previously ordered medications and
treatments resulting in continued symptoms of the same condition are considered
nonemergent. Refusal to comply with currently ordered procedures/treatments such as
drawing blood for laboratory work will also be considered nonemergent.

Removal of Cutaneous Foreign Bodies: Removal of cutaneous foreign bodies (i.e., simple
splinters, cactus needles) are considered nonemergent unless sedation or the use of extensive
medical supplies such as cutdowns are required.
Seizures are considered emergent when:
a)
this is an initial seizure
b)
there is a secondary diagnosis noted (i.e., infection or headache)
c)
the patient is 12 years old or younger
d)
the seizure is still in progress or status epilepticus
e)
this is a febrile seizure
f)
the condition is aggravated by alcohol/drug ingestion
g)
this is a previously undiagnosed condition
Scheduled Visits: Scheduled visits to the emergency department for procedures,
examinations or medication administration (i.e., cast changes, suture removal, dressing
changes, follow-up examinations and second opinion consultations) are considered
nonemergent.
When a patient leaves the emergency department against medical advice (AMA) the service is
generally considered nonemergent. However, if the facility provided considerable services
before the patient left AMA, the visit will be given consideration as emergent.
Sickle Cell Anemia: If a person has sickle cell anemia and presents with suspicion of an
infectious or hypoxic process, or complains of pain, the visit may be considered emergent.
Skin Rash/Hives: Documentation must support presence of systemic complications beyond
the local skin discomforts resulting from the rash. If the rash causes eye complications or the
beneficiary has a history of anaphylactic (allergic) reactions, the visit is considered emergent.
If the rash causes eye edema or impairment to eye function and the visit is over a weekend
when there is no access to a physician's office, the visit may be considered emergent.
A history of anaphylaxis along with the rash is considered emergent.
Trauma/Injury: Recent trauma or injury is considered emergent. Recent is defined as an
injury occurring within 48 hours prior to the emergency room visit. Minor
abrasions/lacerations not requiring suture or other injuries not requiring treatment are not
emergent.
If the injury is older than 48 hours and symptoms have deteriorated to the point of requiring
emergency care, consider as emergent.

An injury that requires only simple first aid treatment that can be done in the home (such as
cleansing and/or bandaging an abrasion) is not considered emergent.
A laceration requiring steri-strips indicates a gaping wound and would be considered
emergent.
X-rays do not define the level of care.
Tetanus Injection: A tetanus injection is not considered emergent and does not change the
visit to emergent. However, the patient should not have to make two visits (one to the
emergency room and one to an office or public health department) in order to receive the
tetanus injection. When needed, a tetanus injection should be given within 48-72 hours of the
injury, if possible.
Time of Visit: The time of the visit is a consideration in determining emergent vs.
nonemergent status. If the condition require immediate attention and it is after office hours, a
weekend, or holiday, consider as emergent.
If a patient is brought in by the police at any time, consider as emergent.
If a patient had previously been in the same or different emergency department or physician's
office for the same condition and the condition has not worsened, the visit will be considered
nonemergent.
Vital Signs: If the vital signs are outside a reasonable range for the age, consider the visit as
emergent (see "fever").
Emergency Department/Room Guidelines for E&M Codes
History: The age of a patient is a component of every medical record. Documentation of age
in relationship to issues such as antisocial behavior or mental status is important; however,
age alone is not considered a social history.
Examination: A "comprehensive exam" is considered a "hands on" specialist examination.
Telephone consultation with a specialist is not the equivalent of comprehensive exam (per Dr.
Aaron Primack, HCFA/AMA consultant).
Medical Decision Making: Transfers from the emergency department to another facility for
additional care should be considered in management options as either the "new problem,
additional work-up" or the category of "established problem, worsening" (per Dr. Aaron
Primack, HCFA/AMA consultant).
A vascular examination is included in the cardiovascular category.

A notation that the patient should "follow-up" with his family physician in the morning or
return to the physician's office for stitch removal does not justify use of the "additional workup" statement when considering management options (per Dr. Aaron Primack, HCFA/AMA
consultant).
In evaluating the "Table of Risk", infection is the usual risk that pops into mind when talking
about minor surgery. To consider infection as a "risk" from minor surgery, there must be
documentation to support increased risk due to the quality or condition of the injury or illness
(per Dr. Aaron Primack, HCFA/AMA consultant).
"Self-limited/minor problems" are defined as those representative of basic emergency
department care such as lacerations, stings, insect bites (per Dr. Aaron Primack,
HCFA/AMA consultant).
"New problems with or without additional work-up" is defined as representing new, longstanding problems that will need attention again at some time (per Dr. Aaron Primack,
HCFA/AMA consultant).
Observation Room:
Observation in the outpatient setting is a service which requires monitoring the patient's
condition beyond the usual amount of time in an outpatient setting. Examples of the
appropriate use of the observation room include: monitoring head trauma, drug overdose,
cardiac arrhythmias and false labor. A physician or mid-level practitioner must see the patient
within two hours prior to admission to the observation room except for obstetrical labor or
scheduled administration of IV medication or blood products. The observation room stay must
be medically necessary.
There is no time limit restriction for the observation room. The same reimbursement rate
applies regardless of the number of hours required for monitoring. This reimbursement is all
inclusive of services and supplies. If there is a discharge and readmission to the observation
room from midnight to midnight, only one reimbursement rate will be allowed.
Observation room is content of service of a minor surgery.
ER physician fee, nonscheduled fetal oxytocin stress tests and fetal nonstress tests are content
of service of the observation room. Additional reimbursement for these services will not be
made.
Observation room should not be billed for the following:
o Recovery room services following inpatient or outpatient surgery.
o Recovery/observation following scheduled diagnostic tests such as arteriograms,
cardiac catherization, etc.
o Scheduled fetal oxytocin stress tests and fetal nonstress tests.

hospital provider must maintain written policies, procedures and materials about advance
directives.
Specific Requirements
1. Each hospital must provide written information to every adult individual receiving
medical care by or through the hospital. This information must contain:
• The individual's right to make decisions concerning his or her own medical
care
• The individual's right to accept or refuse medical or surgical treatment

SRS’ "Description of the Law of Kansas Concerning Advance Directives"
Note: SRS does not provide copies of the description to providers. It is up to
providers to reproduce the description. Providers are free to supplement this
description as long as they do not misstate Kansas law.
Additionally, each hospital must provide written information to every adult individual
about the hospital's policy on implementing these rights.
A hospital must document in every individual's medical record whether the individual
has executed an advance directive.
A hospital may not place any conditions on health care or otherwise discriminate
against an individual based upon whether that individual has executed an advance
directive.
Each hospital must comply with state law about advance directives.
Each hospital must provide for educating staff and the community about advance
directives. This may be accomplished by brochures, newsletters, articles in the local
newspapers, local news reports or commercials.
Incapacitated Individuals
An individual may be admitted to a facility in a comatose or otherwise incapacitated state, and
be unable to receive information or articulate whether he or she has executed an advance
directive. If this is the case, families of, surrogates for, other concerned persons of the
incapacitated individual must be given the information about advance directives. If the
incapacitated individual is restored to capacity, the hospital must provide the information
about advance directives directly to him or her even though the family, surrogate or other
concerned person received the information initially.
If an individual is incapacitated, otherwise unable to receive information or articulate whether
he or she has executed an advance directive, the hospital must note this in the medical record.
Mandatory Compliance with the Terms of the Advanced Directive
When a patient, relative, surrogate or other concerned/related person presents a copy of the
individual's advance directive to the hospital, the facility must comply with the terms of the
advance directive to the extent allowed under state law. This includes recognizing powers
of attorney.

Description of the Law of Kansas Concerning Advance Directives:
There are two types of "advance directives" in Kansas. One is commonly called a "living
will" and the second is called a "durable power of attorney for health care decisions."
The Kansas Natural Death Act, K.S.A. 65-28,106, et seq.
This law provides that adult persons have the fundamental right to control decisions
relating to their own medical care. This right to control medical care includes the
right to withhold life-sustaining treatment in case of a terminal condition.
Any adult may take a declaration which would direct the withholding of life-sustaining
treatment in case of a terminal condition. Some people call this declaration a "living
will." The declaration must be:
1.
In writing;
2.
Signed by the adult making the declaration;
3.
Dated; and
4.
Signed in front of two adult witnesses, or notarized.
There are specific rules set out in the law about the signature in case of an adult who
can't write. There are specific rules about the adult witnesses. Relatives by blood or
marriage, heirs, or people who are responsible for paying for the medical care may
not serve as witnesses. A woman who is pregnant may not make a declaration.
The declaration may be revoked in three ways:
1.
By destroying the declaration;
2.
By signing and dating a written revocation; and
3.
By speaking an intent to revoke in front of an adult witness. The
witness must sign and date a written statement that the declaration was
revoked.
Before the declaration becomes effective, two physicians must examine the patient and
diagnose that the patient has a terminal condition.
The desires of a patient shall at all times supersede the declaration. If a patient is
incompetent, the declaration will be presumed to be valid.
The Kansas Natural Death Act imposes duties on physicians and provides penalties for violations of
the laws about declarations.

The Kansas Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions Law, K.S.A. 58-625,
et seq.
A "durable power of attorney for health care decisions" is a written document in
which an adult gives another adult (called an "agent") the right to make health care
decisions. The power of attorney applies to health care decisions even when the adult
is not in a terminal condition. The adult may give the agent the power to:
1.
Consent or to refuse consent to medical treatment;
2.
Make decisions about donating organs, autopsies, and disposition of the body;
3.
Make arrangements for hospital, nursing home, or hospice care;
4.
Hire or fire physicians and other health care professionals; or
5.
Sign releases and receive any information about the adult.
A "durable power of attorney for health care decisions" may give the agent all those
five powers or may choose only some of the powers. The power of attorney may not
give the agent the power to revoke the adult's declaration under the Kansas Natural
Death Act ("living will"). The power of attorney only takes effect when the adult is
disabled unless the adult specifies that the power of attorney should take effect earlier.
The adult may not make a health care provider treating the adult the agent except in
limited circumstances.
The power of attorney may be made by two methods:
1.
In writing;
2.
Signed by the adult making the declaration;
3.
Dated;
4.
Signed in front of two adult witnesses;
Or:
Written and notarized.
Relatives by blood or marriage, heirs, or people who are responsible for paying for
the medical care may not serve as witnesses.
The adult, at the time the power of attorney is written, should specify how the power of attorney may
be revoked.

The Patient Self-Determination Act, Section 1902(w) of the Social Security Act
This federal law, codified at 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1396a(w), was effective December 1, 1991. It applies to
all Medicaid and Medicare hospitals, nursing facilities, home health agencies, hospices, and prepaid
health care organizations. It requires these organizations to take certain actions about a patient's right
to decide about health care and to make advance directives.
This law also required that each state develop a written description of the State law about advance
directives. This description was written by the Health Care Policy Section of the Kansas Department
of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) to comply with that requirement. If you have any
questions about your rights to decide about health care and to make advance directives, please consult
with your physician or attorney.

Abortions
Abortions are covered only under the following conditions:
• In the case where a woman suffers from a physical disorder, physical injury, or physical
illness, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the
pregnancy itself
• If the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest
The physician must complete the Abortion Necessity Form to certify that the woman's
physical health is in danger or that the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest. The form,
located on the public and secure websites (see the Table of Contents for hyperlinks) at the end
of this manual in the Forms section, Abortion Necessity Form, or on the provider Web site
under Publications, Forms, Abortion Necessity Form, may be photocopied for your use. All
blanks must be completed, including the patient's complete address.
Claims submitted for abortions due to rape or incest must be accompanied by a statement
signed by the physician stating that he or she was informed by the patient that the pregnancy
was the result of rape or incest. No further documentation is required to process the claim.
However, all pertinent information must be retained with the medical record.
Children and Family Services (CFS) Contractors
Medicaid reimbursable services will not be paid by child welfare contractors. All services for
children assigned to contractors, including behavior management and mental health, must be
billed directly to KMAP and will be reimbursed at the approved Medicaid rate. Prior
authorization (PA) and other restrictions apply.
Bone Anchored Hearing Aid
Effective with dates of service on and after March 1, 2009, aA bone anchored hearing aid
(BAHA) is covered by KMAP with the following specifications and limitations. A BAHA is
limited to one every four years, with one replacement. PA is required for all BAHA services.

8400. Updated 02/09
Bone Anchored Hearing Aid (continued)
A BAHA is covered with PA for a KAN Be Healthy (KBH) beneficiary who meets all of the
following criteria:
• Each of items one, two, three and four
• Either items five or six
• At least one of items seven, eight or nine
1. The beneficiary must be five years of age or older.
2. Standard hearing aids cannot be used due to a medical condition.
3. The beneficiary has adequate manual dexterity or the assistance necessary to snap the
device onto the abutment.
4. The beneficiary has the ability to maintain proper hygiene at the site of the fixture.
5. Tumors of the external canal and/or tympanic cavity are present.
6. Congenital or surgically induced malformations (e.g., atresia) of the external ear canal
or middle ear are present.
7. There is unilateral conductive or mixed hearing loss.
8. There is bilateral conductive hearing loss.
9. There is unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (single-sided deafness).
Definitions
• Unilateral conductive or mixed hearing loss: Unilateral conductive or mixed hearing
loss caused by congenital malformations of the external or middle ear. Conventional
hearing aids cannot be worn. Beneficiary must have:
o Average bone conduction threshold better (less) than 45 dB (at 500, 1000, 2000, 3000
Hz) in the indicated ear
o Speech discrimination score greater than 60 percent in the indicated ear
• Bilateral conductive hearing loss: Conductive and mixed hearing loss involving both ears
which is not able to be treated with reconstructive surgery or conventional hearing aids.
Beneficiary must meet all of the following:
o Moderate (40dB) to severe (70dB) conductive hearing loss symmetrically
o Less than 10dB difference in average bone conduction (at 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 Hz)
or less than 15 dB difference in bone conduction at individual frequencies
o Mixed hearing loss with an average bone conduction better (less) than 45dB in either
ear (at 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 Hz)
• Unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (single-sided deafness): Nerve deafness in the
indicated ear making conventional hearing aids no longer useful. The implant is designed
to stimulate the opposite (good ear) by bone conduction through the bones of the skull.
Therefore, the audiometric criteria are for the good ear. Beneficiary must meet all of the
following:
o Severe (70dB) to profound (90dB) hearing loss on one side with poor speech
discrimination and the inability to use a conventional hearing aid in that ear
o Normal hearing in the good ear as defined by an air conduction threshold equal to or
better (less) than 20dB (at 500, 1000, 2000, 3000 Hz)
A child younger than five years of age with unilateral congenital atresia of the ear canal or
middle ear in the presence of a maximum conductive hearing loss and adequate cochlear
(inner ear) function may be considered on an individual basis. Adequate cochlear function is
demonstrated audiologically when stimulation through bone conduction results in significantly
improved and functional hearing in the involved ear.

Bone Anchored Hearing Aid (continued)
For a child with congenital malformations, sufficient bone volume and bone quality must be
present for a successful fixture implantation. Alternative treatments, such as a conventional
bone conduction hearing aid, should be considered for a child with a disease state that might
jeopardize osseointegration.
Replacements
• One replacement BAHA is covered for a KBH beneficiary who meets the initial
placement criteria.
• PA is required for all BAHA replacement services. All providers must obtain a PA prior
to providing service.
• A replacement processor cannot be billed at the same time as the original processor or the
original surgery.
• Replacements are limited to one every four years if lost, stolen, or broken.
• A replacement is not allowed for the purpose of upgrading. A BAHA can only be
replaced if the current processor has an expired warranty, is malfunctioning, and cannot
be repaired.
Immunization/Vaccine
Reimbursement for covered immunizations for children is limited to the administration of the
vaccine only. Vaccines are supplied at no cost to the provider through Vaccines for Children,
a federal program administered by KDHE.
Codes 90470 and G9141 are covered for the administration of the H1N1 vaccine. These codes
are covered for all benefit plans, except for beneficiaries who only have ADAPD coverage,
with a reimbursement rate of $14.15. Claims for the administration of the H1N1 vaccine
should be billed with diagnosis code V04.81 (H1N1). Since the H1N1 vaccine is available at
no cost to providers, payment is not being issued for 90663 or G9142. If providers are
interested in administering the H1N1 vaccine, they can contact KDHE to receive the vaccine.
Intrathecal Baclofen Pump
Intrathecal baclofen pumps are covered for Medicaid beneficiaries. This includes the initial
and all subsequent implantation(s), revision(s), repairs, catheters, batteries, refills, removals,
and maintenance of the intrathecal baclofen pumps when indicated. Three services require

Renal Dialysis and Kidney Transplant
When it has been determined a beneficiary has chronic renal disease (CRD) requiring renal
dialysis, the beneficiary or his representative should apply for Medicare CRD eligibility.
Renal Dialysis and Kidney Transplant (continued)
Medicare allows for payment of claims for eligible beneficiaries with chronic renal disease
and will reimburse for maintenance dialysis the third month after the maintenance dialysis
starts. Medicare will reimburse for maintenance dialysis in the first three months if the
beneficiary has been involved in self training in a self-care dialysis unit or through a self-care
home dialysis support service provided by a qualified provider. They also reimburse for
expenses incurred for a kidney transplant including those for the kidney donor.
Medicaid will reimburse claims for services related to chronic renal dialysis and/or kidney
transplants only after proof has been attached to one claim that the beneficiary has applied for
Medicare and coverage has been approved or denied. The Medicare CRD eligibility
information will be retained in the claims processing system. Therefore, subsequent claims do
not need to have proof of Medicare CRD eligibility approval or denial attached.
Acceptable proof of application and coverage or denial by Medicare are:
• Medicare EOMB/RA
• Beneficiary health insurance card
• Report of Confidential Social Security Benefit Information
• Letter from Medicare or Social Security explaining that the beneficiary has applied for
Medicare and whether beneficiary is eligible

General Hospital Reimbursement Policies
Payment for general inpatient hospital services is based on the following equation: DRG
weight times (X) group payment rate plus (+) outlier costs, if appropriate.
Medicaid does not reimburse for days not medically necessary or deemed "not payable" by
federal or state laws, regulations, or state policy.
All DRGs have the potential for day or cost outliers.
When a stay is eligible for both day and cost outliers, the greater of the two is paid.
Only day outlier payment is made for hospitalization extending beyond 360 days.
If a Medicaid beneficiary is transferred from one hospital to another, the transferring hospital
will receive outlier payments when the length of stay is greater than the DRG day or cost
outlier. The hospital billing the final discharge receives the standard DRG payment including
outliers, if applicable.
When a Medicaid beneficiary is discharged prematurely and subsequently readmitted within
30 days, only the DRG payment for the first stay will be made if the discharging and
readmitting hospital are the same. If the discharging and readmitting hospitals are not the
same, only the readmitting hospital will be reimbursed.
When the Medicaid beneficiary is not eligible for the entire inpatient stay, the DRG payment
is prorated and reimbursement is made only for the days the beneficiary was eligible.
Reimbursement shall not exceed the standard DRG payment plus any applicable outlier
payment. (Only covered days are used to calculate outliers.)
Hospitals can issue a continued stay denial to a beneficiary only after the attending physician
has written a discharge order. The hospital must supply the beneficiary with the necessary
notification that the beneficiary will assume responsibility for payment since a continued stay
is not considered medically necessary and is no longer a covered service.
Admissions or day outliers found to be unnecessary by the utilization review contractor cannot
be billed to the beneficiary.

Emergency renal dialysis (revenue code 809) is only allowed once in an 18-month period per
beneficiary.
State Institutions for Mental Health
State institution services are only covered for Medicaid beneficiaries under 21 years of age or
65 years of age and older. (However, if a beneficiary is an inpatient in a state institution on
their 21st birthday, state institution services will be covered until the 22 years of age.)
State institutions are reimbursed 100 percent of the amount billed.
Long-Term Care Units
Long-term care units must be a distinct or separate unit of a hospital certified to provide
skilled and/or intermediate care under KMAP subject to the same federal and state rules and
regulations as a free-standing adult care home. This includes compliance with federal
regulations for standards of care and related reimbursement.
Noncovered Services
• Take home drugs
•
Nonmedical hospital supplies (e.g., hospital kits)
Psychiatric
A psychiatric preadmission assessment is not required for inpatient medical treatment when
the admission was the result of a medical manifestation of a psychiatric disorder and the
beneficiary was not admitted to the psychiatric unit.
Inpatient general hospital psychiatric admissions are covered only after a psychiatric
preadmission assessment has been completed and a determination made that the most
appropriate treatment setting is the hospital. [As required by Mental Health Reform,
community mental health centers (CMHCs) review all admissions to state hospitals.] No
payment will be made for the hospital admission or related physician services without the
completion of the preadmission assessment and determination that the hospital admission
meets criteria. When seeking to admit a KMAP beneficiary for inpatient treatment call
1-800-466-2222 to arrange for the assessment to be completed. This toll-free number is
staffed 24 hours a day by the Mental Health Consortium (MHC).

Psychiatric (continued)
All individuals, determined by the hospital, to be potentially eligible for KMAP benefits must
have a psychiatric preadmission assessment performed prior to admission into an acute care
general or special hospital. The following criteria is a guideline that should assist hospitals in
determining which individuals are potential candidates for KMAP benefits:
• Individuals receiving supplemental security income (SSI) or have applied for SSI
• Individuals on Social Security
• Individuals who have been unemployed longer than six months
• Individuals who have applied or will be applying for KMAP
After receiving a request for a psychiatric preadmission assessment, the MHC will contact the
appropriate CMHC, or other approved provider if the admission is out of state, to complete
the assessment face-to-face with the patient. The hospital and admitting physician will be
notified of the results verbally and through a letter from the MHC. If the admission is
approved a PA number will be included in the letter for the hospital to use when billing for
the admission and related services.
A referral from the beneficiary's primary care provider is not required for a psychiatric
hospital stay or related physician and ancillary services provided during the psychiatric
hospitalization approved through the preadmission assessment process.
Free Standing Psychiatric Hospitals
Federal regulations classify free standing psychiatric hospitals as institutions for mental
disease (IMDs). Medicaid reimbursement to IMDs is restricted to treatment of beneficiaries
20 years of age and younger or 65 and older. Even though an admission may be authorized
by a preadmission screening, Medicaid reimbursement to free standing psychiatric hospital
providers (with a specialty of 011 B3) will be made only for beneficiaries under 21 years of
age or 65 and older at admission.
Emergency Psychiatric
Screening for inpatient services following the sudden onset of severe psychiatric symptoms,
which could reasonably be expected to make the individual harmful to self or others if not
immediately under psychiatric care. The individual is in crisis and not currently in a place of
safety. A screening is completed immediately (no later than three hours) to determine
appropriate placement.
Urgent Psychiatric
Screening is initiated if the individual meets one of the four independent criteria and is
currently in a place of safety. An observation bed may be used to provide security and
“observation” for individuals in imminent danger and to assist in the determination of the
need for psychiatric hospitalization. In this instance, the screening must be completed as soon
as possible and within two days of the consortium’s receipt of the request.

Planned Psychiatric
Noncrisis in nature, the screening must be completed within two days of the consortium’s
receipt of the request. The admission must occur within two days of the completion of the
screening.
Retroactive Psychiatric
Individuals whose Medicare or other primary insurance denied payment for treatment and who
were Medicaid eligible at the time of admission. Other retroactive screens may be authorized
for denied requests when eligibility is in question. If the individual receives a valid Medicaid
card after a hospital admission has been completed, the consortium requests the admission
information, and completes a preadmission screening within five working days of the receipt
of that information.
Cases Involving Retroactive Eligibility
The assessment must be requested and completed prior to the admission and related services
being billed to Medicaid. The assessment will not be face-to-face and will be completed by
the MHC. The MHC must complete the assessment within five working days of receiving
the request.
Cases Involving Other Insurance or Medicare
If the admission and related services are billed to other insurance or Medicare first, the
psychiatric preadmission assessment is not necessary. If the other insurance or Medicare
makes no payment on the claim, prior to the claim being billed to Medicaid, an assessment
must be completed. The MHC will complete the assessment within five working days of
receiving the request. The assessment will not be face-to-face.
A face-to-face psychiatric preadmission assessment consists of a psychiatric diagnostic
interview examination including history, mental status examination, and communication with
family members and other collateral contacts in order to develop an appropriate treatment
plan.
Placement problems for children in SRS custody: The SRS office suggests that efforts to make
arrangements for placement in a state hospital or appropriate long-term care facility should
begin as soon as the need for prolonged nonacute inpatient care becomes apparent. The local
SRS office, the physician, or the hospital should contact Adult and Medical Services for
assistance in placement, if necessary. Please request this assistance by the 6-10th day of stay
in an acute hospital.
Substance Abuse
Acute detoxification is covered in any acute general hospital, when medically necessary.
Alcohol and drug addiction treatment services provided in an inpatient hospital setting are not
covered.

Utilization Review General Hospitals
Utilization review (UR) is performed on a postpayment basis for general hospitals with the
exception of some readmissions, some interim bills and some adjustments. (URs are
performed internally at state institutions.)
Review of outlier cases are conducted on all cases with day or cost outliers. Reviews are
performed on a postpay basis, unless interim bills are submitted and the beneficiary is still an
inpatient.
Readmissions within 30 days of a discharge are reviewed on a postpayment basis.
All patient initiated transfers are subject to UR.
When a patient is transferred from an inpatient hospital bed to a swing-bed unit and acute care
continues to be provided, payment for the swing-bed will be denied or recouped. The only
purpose for this type of transfer is for the hospital to obtain reimbursement beyond the DRG
payment.
Following DRG coding evaluation and adjustment by the UR contractor, payment of claims
will be adjusted upward or downward. In this instance, the fiscal agent will initiate the
adjustment.
When a hospital admission is determined to be nonmedically necessary by the Medicaid
utilization review contractor (KFMC), resulting in recoupment of payment, the provider shall
not rebill the claim as an outpatient service.
UR may be performed either on-site or by reviewing records sent as required to the UR
contractor. If a hospital fails to provide the UR contractor with the complete requested
information within the allowable time frames, the case will be denied, resulting in recoupment
of payment. These "technical denials" are not eligible for reconsideration. If the facility
supplies the UR contractor the information within 90 days of the "technical denial" date, the
case may be reopened for review. Pending the review results, repayment for the case may
occur.
Discharge Day Not Medically Necessary
When a beneficiary's hospital discharge day is determined by the UR contractor to not be
medically necessary, the discharge day is redefined as the last medically necessary day. This
redefined discharge day is not reimbursed.

All Sterilizations
Guidelines
Sterilizations on mentally incompetent individuals or individuals institutionalized for mental
illness are not covered.
The following guidelines must be accurately followed before reimbursement can be made for
any sterilization procedure (including, but not limited to, hysterectomy, tubal ligation
sterilization, and vasectomy). If each item is not followed completely, it will result in the
denial of your claim. KHPA KMAP or other authorized agencies may ask for documentation
at any time, either during the claims processing period or after payment of a claim, to verify
that services have been provided within program guidelines.
1. The Sterilization Consent Form, mandated by federal regulation, is located on the
public and secure websites (see the Table of Contents for hyperlinks) at the end of this
manual in the Forms section or on the KMAP Web site under Publication, Forms,
Sterilization Consent Form. Instruction on how to complete the Sterilization Consent
Form is posted following the forms. Providers may photocopy this form. All voluntary
sterilization claims submitted without this specific Sterilization Consent Form will be
denied. All fields must be completed, including the physician signature.
2. The Sterilization Consent Form must be signed so that 30 days have passed before the
date the sterilization is performed with the following exceptions:
Premature Delivery
• The date of the beneficiary’s consent must be at least three calendar days prior to
the date the sterilization was performed.
• The expected date of delivery must be indicated on the consent form and the date
of the beneficiary’s consent must be at least 30 days prior to the expected date of
delivery.
Emergency Abdominal Surgery
• The date of the beneficiary’s consent must be at least three calendar days prior to
the date the sterilization was performed.
• The circumstances of the emergency abdominal surgery must be described by the
physician sufficiently to substantiate the waiver of the 30-day requirement.
Note: Three calendar days is used in the above exceptions to guarantee compliance
with the minimum federal requirement of 72 hours.
3. The Sterilization Consent Form is valid for 180 days from the date it is signed by the
beneficiary. Sterilization claims for individuals that reflect dates of service beyond 180
days from the date the consent form was signed will be denied.

which the individual has misrepresented his or her age on the consent form to the
provider.) The birth date information provided by SRS will be used to determine
whether the individual meets the age requirement. This information can be obtained
through KMAP Customer Service.
5. Sterilizations on mentally incompetent individuals are not covered. "Mentally
incompetent individual" is defined as an individual who has been declared mentally
incompetent by a federal, state or local court of competent jurisdiction for any purpose,
unless the individual has been declared competent for purposes which include the
ability to consent to sterilizations" (42 CFR 441.251).
6. The sterilization is not covered when consent is obtained from anyone in "labor,"
under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, or seeking or obtaining an abortion.
7. Interpreters must be provided when there are language barriers, and special
arrangements must be made for handicapped individuals.
8. The physician's statement must be signed and dated no more than two days prior to the
surgery, the day of the surgery, or any day after sterilization was performed. If this
field is left blank, your claim will be denied.
9. The physician statement on the consent form must be signed by the physician who
performed the sterilization. No other signatures will be accepted.
When sterilization results from the treatment of a medical condition, a consent form is not
required. However, there must be a note on the face of the claim that states what medical
condition caused the sterility. Claims billed involving these situations will be denied for no
Sterilization Consent Form when an explanatory notation is not present on the face of
the claim.
The form must be legible in its entirety.
Transcervical Sterilizations
Procedure cCode 58579 is not covered for transcervical sterilization procedures. Procedure
cCode 58565 is to be used. The procedure must meet all sterilization requirements. PA is
required.
The Essure Kit is included in procedure code 58565 and should not be billed separately. The
invoice does not need to be attached to the claim.
If a beneficiary has had a transcervical hysteroscopy sterilization, a federal Sterilization
Consent Form is required. Additionally, three months must have passed before performing
code 58340. To indicate proof of sterilization, ICD-9 CM diagnosis code V25.2 must be
used. PA is not required.

CODES
The Kansas Health Policy Authority (KHPA) requires KHPA Medical Plans hospital billers to submit
claims using the Health Care Financing Administration Common Procedure Code System (HCPCS).
HCPCS is a combination of codes which includes CPT® (Current Procedural Terminology) codes
created and controlled by the American Medical Association (AMA); Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) codes created and controlled by CMS; and local codes created and
controlled by the regional CMS office. HCPCS codes consist of a five-digit base code with the
capability of being up to thirteen digits in length when modifiers are used. A modifier code is a
two-digit code that identifies a specific type of service, for example, anesthesia, or a variation of the
service identified by the base code. A chart has been developed to assist providers in understanding
how KHPA will handle specific modifiers. The Coding Modifiers chart is available on both the public
and secure portions of the website. It is under Reference Codes on the main provider page and
Pricing and Limitations on the secure portion. Information on the American Medical Association is
available at http://www.ama-assn.org. Certain services require a modifier code be given in addition to
the HCPCS base code. The modifier codes listed below are the only covered hospital modifier codes;
use of any other modifier codes may cause your claim to be denied.
*Note: Hospitals that bill the base code for radiology procedures will be reimbursed at
the TC rate.
Hospital billers should use CPT codes (refer to Section 1300) for outpatient services when available
or when specifically instructed to do so, otherwise the CMS or local codes printed in the following
pages should be used.
Not all codes are covered. Please use the following resources to determine coverage and pricing
information. For accuracy, use your provider type and specialty as well as the beneficiary ID number
or benefit plan.
• Information from the public website is available at:
https://www.kmap-state-ks.us/Provider/PRICING/RefCode.asp.
• Information from the secure website is available under Pricing and Limitations at:

For further assistance, contact Customer Service at 1-800-933-6593. (Refer to Section 1000 of the
General Introduction Provider Manual.)
All claims must be coded with the appropriate codes. Claims which only describe the service and do
