2 HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) HIV is a virus that attacks and destroys key components of the body s immune system, T cells or CD4 cells. Destruction of large numbers of CD4 cells leads to AIDs AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is the final stage of HIV infection. Patients with AIDs are at risk for opportunistic infections. HIV Prevalence CDC estimates that more than one million people are living with HIV in the U.S. One in five living with HIV is unaware of their infection Gay and bisexual men are most severely affected By race, African Americans face the most severe HIV burden More than 17,000 people with AIDs died in % of hospice admissions are those with HIV Symptoms Associated with HIV/AIDs Fatigue Diarrhea Nausea/vomiting Fever, chills, night sweats Wasting syndrome Affective Disorders Dementia Cough/dyspnea Mouth sores Pressure ulcers Rash/pruritus 2
3 Secondary Conditions Associated with HIV/AIDs Kaposi s sarcoma Lymphoma Renal failure Opportunistic infections such as cryptosporidium or toxoplasmosis AIDs dementia Wasting syndrome HIV Disease LCD Guidelines Per the LCD 1 and 2 must be present; 3 is used to add supporting documentation: 1. CD4+ Count <25 cells/mcl or persistent viral load > 100,000 copies/ml, plus one of the following: CNS lymphoma Untreated, or not responsive to treatment, wasting (loss of 33% lean body mass) Mycobacterium aviumcomplex (MAC) bacteremia, untreated, unresponsive to treatment, or treatment refused Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy HIV Disease LCD Guidelines cont d Systemic lymphoma with advanced HIV disease and partial response to chemotherapy Visceral Kaposi s sarcoma unresponsive to therapy Renal failure in the absence of dialysis Cryptosporidium infection Toxoplasmosis, unresponsive to therapy 3
4 HIV Disease LCD Guidelines cont d 2. Decreased performance status: KPS of < Documentation of the following support eligibility: Chronic persistent diarrhea for one year Persistent serum albumin <2.5 Concomitant, active substance abuse Age > 50 years No antiretroviral, chemotherapeutic & prophylactic drug therapy specifically related to HIV disease Advanced AIDS dementia complex Toxoplasmosis CHF, symptomatic at rest Advanced liver disease Documentation example: Eligibility Thomas is a 57 yr old Caucasian male diagnosed with HIV/AIDS several years ago. Soc. Hx: Pt is lives with his elderly parents and is an active substance abuser (heroin and cocaine). He was treated with antiretrovirals, but adherence was poor. He now has AIDs-related dementia and was recently hospitalized with a cryptosporidium infection and pneumonia. He has lost 60 lbs in the past 6 mos. (wt 137 lbs, 6 1 ) Documentation example: HIV cont d He is dependent in 6/6 ADLs, KPS 40. He is incontinent of frequent loose stool. Appetite poor; requires hand feeding. He is not oriented to place or time. He was transferred to a nursing home and referred to hospice for supportive care. Family requests DNR and no hospitalization. 4
5 Summary HIV/AIDs is now viewed as a chronic condition, but patients still die secondary to AIDs-related complications LCD guidelines outline the clinical criteria for patients considered in the terminal phase of their illness. Documentation of concomitant secondary and co-morbid conditions support burden of illness and hospice eligibility.
