Novitas Solutions, Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) for Pennsylvania, continues to release inpatient rehabilitation facility review choice demonstration (IRF RCD) program updates, resources, upcoming educational opportunities, and important deadlines as IRFs in PA go through this implementation process.

Included in their most recent updates is:

  • Updated Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
  • An upcoming educational opportunity
    IRF RCD: Cycle 1 Progress — October 2, 2024, 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
    Registration will be released soon and will be available here.

IRF RCD was initially implemented in Alabama in 2023, with the second round being implemented in Pennsylvania on June 17, 2024. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) created this process to ensure Medicare coverage and documentation requirements are likely met. This program reduces the number of Medicare appeals, improves provider compliance with Medicare program rules, does not alter the Medicare IRF benefit, and should not delay medically necessary care to Medicare beneficiaries.

Checklist concept - checklist, paper and pen

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has shared a new tool designed to support Administrative Entities and ODP staff when Providers or Supports Coordination Organizations (SCO) choose to provide agency-developed or agency-identified training that meets the General Orientation and annual training requirements of the 55 PA Code 6100. The reviewer determines if the identified staff completed each required annual training core course based on provider training records, including, but not limited to, a description of the course, sign-in sheets, transcripts, or certificates of completion from the training. ODPANN 24-036 is being included as a reminder of the annual training requirements.
