Resubmission of Inpatient Psychiatric Facility Prospective Payment System (IPF PPS) Claims with Chronic Renal Failure Comorbid Condition
The IPF Pricer was not updated with the expanded list
of ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes for 585. ICD-9-CM diagnosis code 585 is used in the IPF
Pricer to give a payment adjustment for claims with a cormorbid condition of chronic
renal failure. This CR alerts FIs and providers that the Pricer will have the updated list of
codes for April 2006. IPFs shall resubmit their claims after April 1, 2006 (for discharges
between October 1, 2005 and March 31, 2006) if they feel the comorbidity adjustment is
applicable. In the meantime, all IPF claims will continue to pay.
