AMA, United Healthcare Propose Billing Codes for Nonmedical Health Needs
The American Medical Association and United Healthcare are supporting the development of 23 billing codes related to social determinants of health.
The healthcare system lacks a consistent, organized way to capture such nonmedical needs as food, housing and access to transportation, and incorporate them into individual care plans, executives of both organizations said. But through their collaboration, UnitedHealthcare has created - and the AMA has endorsed - ICD-10 codes related to these needs, according to Forbes.
"By combining traditional medical data with self-reported [social determinants of health] data, the codes trigger referrals to social and government services to address an individual's unique needs, connecting them directly to local and national resources in their communities," UnitedHealthcare and the AMA said.
One proposed ICD-10 code, for example, would help a dialysis patient who needs transportation, according to Forbes. (full article)
Elizabeth Hogue reports that the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) posted Advisory Opinion No. 10-03 on March 6, 2019, which permits hospitals to provide free, in-home follow up care to discharged patients. During home visits, paramedics employed by the hospital will provide the following services:
- Review patients' medications
- Assess patients' need for follow-up appointments
- Monitor patients' compliance with discharge plans of care or patients' disease management
- Perform home safety inspections
- Perform physical assessments; including checking patients' pulse and blood pressure, listening to patients' lungs and hearts, checking wounds, performing electrocardiograms, drawing blood and running blood tests using portable blood analyzers, and administering medications
In addition, UPS recently announced that it plans to enter the home care industry by sending nurses to vaccinate adults in their homes. First, it is important to acknowledge that it's not entirely clear from the press coverage exactly what UPS plans to do. Here is what Reuters reported:
Workers at the 1.7 million-square-foot UPS healthcare complex will package the vaccines and ship them to more than 4,700 UPS stores. At those stores, a home health nurse who is contracted by a UPS clinical trial logistics unit, called Marken, will gather the vaccines and transport them to the patient's home. The nurses will administer the vaccines in the home.

Colorado's Paid-Family-Leave Bill
|
|
|
SB 188 creates a state-run insurance system into which both employers and employees pay a percentage of each paycheck in order to create a pool of money that workers can use to take as much as 12 weeks of partially paid time off to care for themselves or loved ones during major health incidents such as the arrival of a baby or cancer treatment. Proponents say the measure is needed so that people don't have to choose between keeping their jobs or being with a new child or dying loved one; business groups say the bill forces a one-size-fits-all solution on companies that now deal with workers on a case-by-case basis for leave and hurts small companies particularly by requiring them to keep jobs open for workers when leave ends.
