SNF PRICERActive™ 5-Year Reimbursement DLL

The Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Prospective Payment System is the primary reimbursement methodology for skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and hospitals with a swing bed agreement for claims paid by Medicare. The primary patient classification mechanism, implemented in FY20, is the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM). Resource needs of residents are processed through a complex algorithm to calculate the PDPM code. Associated with each PDPM code are five case-mix adjusted rate components that are driven by patient characteristics. The PDPM code and other hospital-specific and geographic cost factors are the input to the SNF PRICER programs used by Medicare fiscal contractors to compute Medicare reimbursement for a stay.

The SNF PRICERActive™ Reimbursement DLL duplicates the calculations used by Medicare for calculating the standard SNF reimbursement for the PDPM code. SNF PRICERActive uses the same formulas and Medicare hospital-specific data that the Medicare contractors use to calculate claim payments. By simply referencing the SNF PRICERActive™ Reimbursement DLL within your application, setting the input property values, and executing the PricerCalc method you can calculate an estimated Medicare payment for any skilled nursing facility in the U.S.
