PURPOSE:

The purpose of amending Chapter 59E-7, F.A.C., is to align the current data elements collected to the uniform bill for institutional facilities (UB-04), as approved by the National uniform Billing Committee (NUBC) effective October 1, 2007. Additional revision is necessary to incorporate collection of rehabilitative discharges, shorten report deadlines, define resubmission requirements, patient data release, clarifications, and conform terminology to national standards.

SUMMARY:

Amending Chapter 59E-7, F.A.C., will facilitate direct data elements correlation from the UB-04 source document and therefore decrease potential errors introduced by having to re-map elements from the UB-04 to the expired UB-92 source document format. Inclusion of the rehabilitative discharge data, currently collected through a separate application, will allow a uniform collection process for all institutional data and staff resources. The rule contains report deadlines based on an outdated collection system where facility reports were submitted on mailed diskettes. Current electronic data submission applications expedite the collection process time negating the need for extended time frames. Shortened deadlines will afford quicker data availability to meet the growing demand by researchers and consumers who desire current data access on the consumer website and available for purchase.
