59E-7.021: Definitions
59E-7.028: Inpatient Data Elements, Codes and Standards.
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The agency is proposing this rule amendment to modify existing inpatient data element codes to align with recent revision in the CMS Health Insurance Claim Form (UB04). The proposed inpatient amendment will incorporate a new P7 data element to explicitly flag inpatient admissions from a hospital’s emergency department. 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. Nursery Level I, II, and III Charge data elements are modified to include acceptable revenue codes previously omitted in error. Additional revisions are amended for clarification and correction.
