Notice: 9075046

Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION

Division:

Cost Management and Control

Chapter:

PATIENT DATA COLLECTION, AMBULATORY SURGERY AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT

Overview

RULE:

59B-9.031	Definitions
59B-9.032	Ambulatory and Emergency Department Data Reporting and Audit Procedures
59B-9.034	Reporting Instructions
59B-9.038	Ambulatory Data Elements, Codes and Standards

PURPOSE:

The agency is proposing this rule amendment to remove the ambulatory exception provision upon recommendation of the State Consumer Health Information and Policy Advisory Council. This change will require that all ambulatory facilities report regardless of low patient volume. This amendment will also modify existing ambulatory data element codes to align with recent revision in the CMS Health Insurance Claim Form (UB04) and its electronic equivalent. The amendment deletes all ICD-10-CM references due to delayed national implementation and the Agency’s inability to receive an ICD-10-CM format. Additional revisions are amended for clarification.

SUMMARY:

The agency is proposing amendments to Rules 59B-9.031; 59B-9.032; 59B-9.034, and 59B-9.038, F.A.C., that modify ambulatory and emergency department reporting codes; delete all ICD-10 references, and remove ambulatory reporting exemption for volumes less than 200.
