Description
TITLE OF THE INVENTION
DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE PAYMENT CALCULATOR
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60/992,388, filed December 5, 2007, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present general inventive concept relates to a calculator to determine disproportionate share payments, and more particularly, to an internet-based calculator to assist acute-care hospitals in calculating government payments such as, but not limited to Medicare and Medicaid disproportionate share payments.
2. Advantages of the Invention over Related Art
[0003] Hospitals and consulting firms that perform Medicaid eligibility matches and Medicare disproportionate share payments (DSH) calculations primarily utilize traditional database or spreadsheet software applications such as Microsoft Access™ and Microsoft Excel™ to format and manipulate patient data as necessary to prepare documentation for the DSH calculation.
[0004] Microsoft Access™ and Microsoft Excel™ primarily use pre-written queries or commands to perform the data tasks necessary in the preparation of the DSH calculation. These methods are disadvantageous for at least the reasons that turnaround time is long, accuracy is poor, and versatility is poor.
[0005] The advantages the present general inventive concept include, among others: 1 ) turnaround time of eligibility match files is usually one to three days versus weeks or months; 2) accuracy of calculating Medicaid eligible days because the present general inventive concept has a precisely accurate and reliable automated process that only counts the correct number of eligible days in the DSH calculation; 3) increased eligibility match results because the present general inventive concept matches patient data against Medicaid eligibility databases on at least four different criteria as aforementioned; 4) automatic calculation and reduction of Labor and Delivery days as directed by CMS; 5) automatic matching of moms and babies through software code; 6) automatic removal of dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid eligible days as directed by CMS;
and 7) automatic audit support contained within the software that is ready to be exported into a user-friendly format for ease of use of the present general inventive concept.
[0006] The advantages that the present general inventive concept offers over conventional software methods for DSH calculations are: 1 ) 100% HIPAA compliant web-based software application because at least three primary conventional applications are not wholly web-based and only two offer partial web-based features that are limited to, for example, uploading patient files; 2) higher match rates achieved by matching patient data against the Medicaid eligibility databases on multiple criteria versus just one or two; 3) unlimited number of eligibility batch matches available to the user, which is not provided by any primary conventional application; 4) several exception data reports that help analyze patient data and the results of Medicaid eligibility matches; 5) 100% audit support documentation provided by the present general inventive concept; and 6) processing common working file and paid claims matches using the same logic as the Medicaid eligibility matches, preventing labor-intensive manual reassignment of patient outside the present general inventive concept.
[0007] Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide an easily accessible, user-friendly calculator with increased reliability and versatility to calculate Medicare and Medicaid disproportionate share payments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0022] Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present general inventive concept, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiments are described below in order to explain the present general inventive concept be referring to the figures.
[0023] The present general inventive concept is an internet-based, remote-hosted software application that performs the following steps to calculate DSH payments for hospitals:
[0024] Users log-in the present general inventive concept via a website, which is illustrated in Figure 1 as www.trinity-hcr.com.
[0025] Users update specific hospital information relevant to the fiscal year for which they are choosing to perform a DSH calculation as illustrated in Figure 2.
[0026] As illustrated in Figure 3, users upload an electronic hospital patient data file ("Patient Data File") to a server, such as the illustrated server of Trinity Healthcare Resources (THR), which hosts software of the present general inventive concept.
[0027] Users may upload an electronic patient data file electronically linking mothers to their newborns ("Mom-Baby Account Number Link"), as illustrated in Figure 4.
[0028] The present general inventive concept then executes a search to identify any remaining unmatched newborns to their mother using a series of algorithms based on certain data elements contained within the Patient Data File, as illustrated in Exhibit A. Newborns are electronically matched or linked to their mothers to calculate Labor and Delivery days and identify any Medicaid eligible days based on State presumptive eligibility laws.
[0029] Users may manually enter the mother's account number next to the newborn's account number for any newborns that were not electronically matched through algorithms of the present general inventive concept or were not contained in the Mom-Baby Account Number Link, as illustrated in Figure 5.
[0030] Users then may classify the Nursing-Station/Location Codes that are a data element and contained within the Patient Data File. The Nursing-Station/Location Code identifies where the patient was treated within the hospital. Only patients treated in acute care hospital locations are allowed to be counted in the DSH calculation. The present general inventive concept groups the Nursing-Station/Location Code values for each patient into a separate table. The user is directed to classify each Nursing-Station/Location Code using a drop-down menu, as illustrated
in Figure 6. The user's classifications of the Nursing-Station/Location Codes determine which patients are counted in the DSH calculation.
[0031] Users may also classify the Insurance Plan Codes that are also a data element and contained within the Patent Data File. The Insurance Plan Code identifies which type of primary, secondary, and/or tertiary (if necessary) insurance each patient had during their hospital visit.
[0032] Only non-Medicare Part A insurance codes are allowed to be counted in the DSH calculation. The present general inventive concept groups the Insurance Plan Code values for each patient into a separate table. The user is directed to classify each Insurance Plan Code using a drop-down menu, as illustrated in Figure 7. The user's classifications of the Insurance Plan Codes determine which patients are counted in the DSH calculation.
[0033] The present general inventive concept then formats the hospital patient data in a batch file layout to match the appropriate State Medicaid eligibility database specifications to perform, if necessary, a standard HIPAA Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI") batch 270 transaction.
[0034] The HIPAA-EDI 270 transaction is a request to determine if each patient that was uploaded in the hospital patient data file in Step 3, has a Title XIX Medical Assistance ("Medicaid") Aid Category Code and if each patient was eligible for Medicaid, during the specific dates of service for which the patient was treated for inpatient services at the hospital.
[0035] The batch patient file in the appropriate 270 format is sent to the State Medicaid eligibility database. Each State Medicaid Department has its own unique method of receiving the 270 batch submission files.
[0036] Once the state receives the HIPAA-EDI batch 270 request file, the data file is electronically matched to State Medicaid eligibility databases using the following match criteria, if pertinent: i) Social Security Number (SSN) only; ii) Patient Name and date of birth (DOB); iii) Patient Medicaid Identification (ID) Number only; and iv) SSN and DOB in some cases.
[0037] The State Medicaid Department typically posts a results file, which the present general inventive concept downloads to a server, such as THR's server. The Medicaid eligibility results file is usually a HIPAA-EDI 271 transaction batch file. The 271 results file contains the Medical Assistance Aid Category or Medicaid Eligibility Code and/or the dates for which the patient was eligible for Medicaid.
[0038] The present general inventive concept merges the 271 results file into the specific DSH calculation and calculates the correct number of inpatient days for which patients were eligible for medical assistance under a State approved plan under Title XIX.
[0039] It is important to note that not all Medicaid programs are funded under Title XIX. The State Children's Health Insurance Plan, for example, is funded under Title XXI and eligible patients under this program are not allowable in the Medicare DSH calculation.
[0040] The present general inventive concept groups each Medicaid Eligibility or Aid Code contained within the 271 results file and directs the user to classify each code as allowable or non-allowable to be included in the DSH Calculation, as illustrated in Figure 8.
[0041] The user then clicks the "Process Match" button and Hawkeye DSH Calculator™ runs the computer code to calculate the number of acute in-patient days eligible for medical assistance under Title XIX approved under a State Medicaid Plan.
[0042] The present general inventive concept uses the match results from the 271 file processed in step 13 as well as the Aid Code classifications assigned by the user to determine how many days a patient is eligible for Medicaid or Medicare Part A. These days are calculated both on a census and discharge basis for each inpatient record.
[0043] The user then clicks the "Generate Reports" button and the present general inventive concept creates several reports in the Audit Reports section that document patients and their related information that assist the user in correctly preparing the Medicare DSH calculation, as illustrated in Figure 9.
[0044] The present general inventive concept also has two additional reports that are used for support during a Government audit of a hospital's Medicare DSH calculation.
[0045] The Final Report, such as illustrated in Figure 10, allows the user to enter the hospital's Supplemental Security Income (SSI) percentage, which is a proxy that is part of the Medicare DSH statutory formula. The user also enters the hospital's Medicare diagnostic related group (DRG) payments, also part of the DSH formula, and then clicks on the "Download Final Report" button. The Final Report is then exported from the present general inventive concept to a user- friendly format, such as a Microsoft Excel™ workbook, for the user's reference and/or records.
[0046] Additional features of the present general inventive concept include the ability to match patient data daily, weekly, or monthly to state Medicaid eligibility databases. The present
general inventive concept allows hospitals to submit bills to Medicaid for patients that were eligible for Medicaid, but not previously known to be eligible.
[0047] Further, the present general inventive concept calculates a Rehab DSH adjustment and calculate a Capital DSH adjustment.
[0048] Having now described the features, discoveries and principles of the general inventive concept, the manner in which the general inventive concept is constructed and used, the characteristics of the construction, and advantageous, new and useful results obtained; the new and useful structures, devices, elements, arrangements, parts and combinations, are set forth in the appended claims.
[0049] It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the general inventive concept herein described, and all statements of the scope of the general inventive concept which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.
