Waiver of 3-Day Hospital Stay and Additional Skilled Coverage
Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) care without a 3-day inpatient hospital stay will be covered for beneficiaries who experience dislocations or are otherwise affected by the emergency, such as those who are:
- Discharged from a hospital (in the emergency or receiving locations) in order to provide care to more seriously ill patients
- In need of SNF care as a result of the emergency, regardless of whether that individual was in hospital or nursing home prior to the emergency
System Set Up & Changes
Please contact us or refer to the homepage of PCC for instructions on changes to your system so that you can enter the Condition Code DR on claims relating to COVID-19, as appropriate. There is also information on the Home Page for adding a new COVID-19 Medicare payer. The need for this is based on facility preference.
