We are going to enter the RAP in NGS directly and try to use the HIPPS we generate out the Selman-Holman, in a pinch we will use the generic , hoping it works, I’m sure we will adjust as we go

Our software dictates how our RAPs are sent.  Whatever HIPPS code they use on our RAP, they will also use on our Final, even if is the HIPPS code is the Generic.

Does your software let you use generic on RAPs and then also follow that thru on the final claim? This would be so they are sent electronically.

We have a quick meeting in the mornings to see what will be generic and what will be ready. For recerts, it shouldn’t be hard at all to get the actual  hipps but for admits, most likely the generic will be used. WE did not want to set a precedent yet for always using the generic until we have a better idea of how our work flow goes.

Hi,

Just reaching out to find out if your agencies are going to use default HIPPS codes for your RAPS.  We are having a discussing here, and I’m advocating for default HIPPS, but clinicians are thinking we need to generate accurate HIPPS for quality purposes.  Since the HIPPS codes will not have any impact on payment, I’m for default so the final will always match the RAP.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Happy New Year everyone😊
