February 2020: We've added PDGM Validation to the Code Tracker! Once you've selected all your codes** for a particular patient, click to see if:
- The first-listed code in the Code Tracker is part of a primary diagnosis clinical group, meaning it is acceptable for payment as Primary Dx under PDGM
- Any of the secondary diagnoses belong to a comorbidity group that garners a Low Comorbidity Adjustment under PDGM
- Any two of the secondary diagnoses belong to comorbidity groups that together garner a High Comorbidity Interaction Adjustment under PDGM
**CMS allows one primary and "up to 24 secondary diagnoses that may be eligible for additional payment under the PDGM" – so the PDGM Validation checks only the first 25 codes listed.
The bar below the Code Tracker window header will show a check-mark if your patient's diagnoses have met the threshold or an exclamation point if it has not
Note that rearranging the codes in any way will clear the PDGM Validation results. Simply click to re-run the Validator.
Again, be sure to click before exiting the Code Tracker to retain your adjustments.
