1 Clinical Profiles of Functional Impairment Measurement Used for G Code Reporting in Outpatient Rehabilitation Presented by: Bob Habasevich, MS PT VP Provider Quality and Performance Improvement Objectives Describe clinical discipline use patterns in choice and use of functional measures to comply with CMS G code reporting requirements for outpatient rehabilitation services. Identify discipline variation in functional limitation measurement selection and reporting. Discuss current clinical practice variation when linking goals of outpatient therapy to value based purchasing initiatives. 1
2 Methods Functional Limitation Reporting was implemented on January 1, 2013 and the payment adjustment phase was scheduled to be effective July 1, The CBOR G Code Modifier Calculator was designed to add convenience and consistency to the requirement of performing calculations; converting assessment scores to severity code modifiers as dictated by CMS Claims Based Outcomes Reporting (CBOR) for Medicare Part B claim submissions. Mediware created the conversion calculator to help score and report patient status appropriately. The calculator has been available online since January 2013 and as a downloadable app for iphones and Android devices since September To date, the calculator has been used more than 149,000 times to convert more than 104 standard clinical measures used for severity modifier conversion. Analysis of calculator use has been tabulated and presented by frequency of use for PT, OT and SLP. Measurement instruments were mapped to G Code definitions for therapy goals.

7 Impairment Conversion Calculation + The score of an instrument is converted to percent by dividing the test score results by the best possible score and multiplying by 100 to obtain a percentage. + The resulting value is applied to the CMS defined lookup table to obtain the severity modifier code. + This approach to defining patient impairment does not enable comparison of converted scores across patients measured with different instruments.
