The COR is not authorized to change any of the terms and conditions of this contract. Termination of Services. VA reserves the right to remove any or all VA patients from the CNH at any time when it is determined to be in the best interest of VA or the patients without additional costs to the Government. PART 2 PAYMENT PAYMENT Authorization. VA will authorize CNH placement. Authorizations for CNH placement will be accomplished on a VA Form 10-7078. Each written authorization validity period will be from the initial effective date to disposition. Any extension to the original authorization validity period, regardless of the number of days, requires a new or updated VA Form 10-7078. Other VHA activities may utilize this agreement and are authorized to place eligible beneficiaries. It is the Contractor s responsibility to verify the authority of any individual attempting to make a placement and to promptly notify the VA facility s Contracting Officer s Representative (COR) of any placement made by a different VHA activity. Extension of Services: A VA beneficiary may not be provided CNH authorization at the expense of the NMVAHCS for a period in excess of that stated in the initial authorization received from the NMVAHCS, unless an extension of the authorization is provided, in writing, by the NMVAHCS CNH program under the NMVAHCS Community Care-GEC Community Nursing Home Consult/Order. VA Payments. Payments made by VA under any contract pursuant to this contract, constitute the total cost of nursing home care. No additional charges will be billed to Medicare (with the exception of hospice), Medicaid, or private insurance, the beneficiary or his/her family, either by the CNH or any third-party furnishing services or supplies required for such care, unless and until specific prior authorization in writing is obtained from the VA facility authorizing placement. Vendors will submit monthly claims and supporting clinical information (RUG IV MDS summary or section Z and MDS completion date) to the NMVAHCS community care department electronically Vendors who are not able to use the HIPAA-compliant transactions are not required to do so, monthly claims and supporting clinical information (RUG IV MDS summary or section Z and MDS completion date) can be mailed to: New Mexico VA Healthcare System ATTN: Community Care-Anthony Cardenas Mail Stop 136F 1501 San Pedro Dr. SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 Minimum Quantities. It is impossible to determine the exact or estimated amount, which will be expended under this contract. No obligation will be incurred by VA under this contract, until authorizations are issued for nursing home care of specific beneficiaries. VA agrees to make payment on a timely basis for services rendered in accordance with such authorizations upon receipt of proper invoices submitted by the CNH as outlined in this contract. VA will make payment for the day a recipient enters the CNH but not the day the recipient leaves a CNH unless entrance and departure are on the same day, then payment will be made for one (1) day at the lowest RUG IV rate. Rate Per Diem/Rate Determination. The per diem rate is established by the current Medicare rate for Medicare approved nursing homes to cover the cost of supplies, services, and equipment above that provided under Medicare established by the local state Medicare agency (CMS). Rates established after the effective date of this contract will constitute a modification to the contract. VA Per Diem covers semiprivate room, board, and routine nursing care. For all levels of nursing care, the negotiated per diem rate includes routine ancillary services/ supplies, such as drugs, nursing supplies, oxygen (as clinically indicated by a provider order), x-ray, laboratory, physician visits, geriatric psychiatric consultations, and basic medical equipment rental. Special equipment, e.g., clinitron bed, are not considered routine ancillary services (and may be provided by the VA or pre-approved by the VA as a line item for rental on invoice). The contracted nursing facility is responsible for notifying the CNH program when specialized equipment is clinically indicated. Pre-approval required by VA. High drug costs which comprise more than eight and one-half percent (8.5%) of the per diem rate are generally not considered routine ancillary supplies When a high-cost drug patient is identified the nursing home staff are responsible for notifying and getting preapproval by the VA. The nursing home will need to complete a VA high dollar request form requesting a line-item reimbursement for high dollar medication along with a pharmacy invoice, which then will be reviewed, and approval will be provided to the nursing home to submit as a line item on the monthly claim. VA staff must be advised promptly to establish an appropriate course of action, as the high dollar medication approval must be received for the current billing month. A transaction fee of 3% will be added to any line item high-cost drug patient. Rehabilitation therapies will be provided as a distinct level of care. Rehabilitation visits will be authorized by VA based on actual services provided and typically in an initial 30-day pre-approved increments. Therapy extensions may be approved by a VA licensed therapist, Veteran will need to participate in enough rehab minutes to qualify for a category 2 rehabilitation RUG. Rehabilitation services will not be reimbursed without a rehab approval and/or adequate rehab minutes to trigger a RUG IV rehab category. Hospice Care and Dialysis are not included in the rate. VA or other payers may be used for Hospice and Dialysis, as determined by the veteran with VA approval. Hospice and Dialysis services are billed and authorized separately. Ventilator Care: Veterans requiring use of a ventilator will only be placed in a CNH-trained and equipped for those types of specialty patients. The CNH must be approved by the VA prior to any placements to confirm ventilator level of care can be provided, review of licensed respiratory staff, adequate provider support, vendor support for respiratory equipment, etc. Rates for ventilator care will be detailed in the pricing schedule and will be an all-inclusive per diem rate (including ventilator and supplies). Any rate adjustments shall not exceed the Medicare rate. The per diem rate(s) will apply throughout the term of this agreement, including extension period(s). The rate(s) may be adjusted upon review. Economic Rate Adjustments Rate adjustments may be requested by either the VA or the Contractor s authorized Community Nursing Home (CNH) representative during the term of this IDC. Adjustments will occur no more frequently than those issued by the CMS. Normally, this will be in conjunction with the annual Option renewal review. Request for Rate adjustments must be accompanied by a justification for consideration by the Contracting Officer. No adjustments will be made until the Contracting Officer receives a CMS authenticated copy of the new rate, signed, and dated in a conspicuous area at the top right of the document by the authorized nursing home official and is reviewed by the VA CNH COR. Invoicing. Invoices shall be submitted promptly to the authorizing facility by the 15th calendar day following the end of the month in which services were rendered. All invoices must include the full name and address of the nursing home and shall reflect the patient's name, social security number, number of days billed, level of care category, applicable bed holds days, and daily per diem rate.
