Hello
I have some questions regarding billing & coding rehab inpatient service. If you can respond back to me I d really be thankful.
#1 Can a patient have more than one impairment code on the IRF-PAI form related to their POA and illness arriving with? There are 16 impairment codes and not to use the code #13 Developmental Disabled.
#2 Which impairment code can you use for infections or should you use the impairment code for the body system affected?
#3 Does the case manager or admission rep or coder select impairment code after reading the physician's documentation?
#4.Does the medical coder use only the HPI , consult record from other doctor on staff, and discharge summary to ensure the dx selected & impairment codes are correct and match?
#5. What is the major denials for inpt rehab?
Thank you in advance
