    1. Family PACT Program Benefits Overview March 31, 2011 Patty Cason MS, FNP-BC UCLA School of Nursing Office of Family Planning Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the “Family PACT Program Benefits” webcast. I am Gracie Askew from CHT Resource Group and I will be facilitating the session today. CHT Resource Group, under a contract with the California State Department of Public Health, Office of Family Planning, are sponsoring today’s event. This session will start with a presentation by our speaker, Patty Cason. (Pause) Before I turn the presentation over to Ms. Cason, I want to orient you to some of the WebEx Features we will be using today. For those of you that have full computer access to this session, you will be able to ask question later on in the presentation. Let’s briefly go through how you can use some of the interactive features now. (Should already be in participant view) First, let’s look at how your screen is organized. On the left side you will see the presentation slides, on the right side are the interactive panels. (Click) The interactive panels that we will be using today are the participant panel, the Q & A panel, the Chat and Polling panels. You can open these panels by clicking on the panel’s name in a light blue bar on the top right. To close a panel, click the small minus sign on the upper right corner of that panel. Right now your participant panel should be open. Now, let’s look at the Feedback toolbar located below the attendee list. To the left, you will see a hand icon. During the Q & A period, click the hand to indicate that you have a question. The hand will appear next to your name and we will know that you have a question so that during the question and answer period we can open your line. If your question gets answered, you click it again to remove it. Let’s give this a try… could everyone please raise your hand. Now, click it again to put your hand down. Thank you! We will not be using any of the other features during today’s webcast. Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the “Family PACT Program Benefits” webcast.

If pregnancy testing is the only service the client is seeking this code can also be used. Explain the limited benefits with S601/S602. We strongly suggest that in the sprit of the FPACT program if a client comes for a pregnancy test and it’s negative and the client is not attempting pregnancy, that we counsel the client about BCM and the pt leaves the office with a method.

    21. Benefits: Secondary Related Reproductive Health Conditions Secondary benefits cover the following (when the care is provided coincident to a family planning visit): Male and Female Diagnosis and treatment of specified STIs Female only Diagnosis and treatment of UTI and pre-invasive cervical lesions Many STI screening tests are included as the core screening services under a primary diagnosis code. This includes HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis screening tests. Some STIs and vaginal infections are not routinely screened for. If you wish to run a viral culture for suspected herpes, a wet mount for vaginitis, or do a biopsy of an atypical wart you must use a Secondary Diagnosis. Note that some tests are further limited by gender and/or certain diagnosis codes. Many STI screening tests are included as the core screening services under a primary diagnosis code.

Note that some tests are further limited by gender and/or certain diagnosis codes.

    22. Benefits: Secondary Related Reproductive Health Conditions (cont’d.) Claims for outpatient services must include a secondary ICD-9-CM diagnosis code that identifies a symptom or condition being treated Secondary benefits: Specified outpatient procedures and treatments Specified laboratory testing Limited formulary of prescription drugs The secondary diagnosis codes are used for treatment of identified STIs and vaginitis. STI screening tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis screening are included as the core screening services under a primary diagnosis code so therefore a 2nd ICD 9 code is not necessary unless treatment is going to be required. Testing for other STIs and all testing for vaginal infections are not included as covered services under the primary benefits in FPACT therefore a 2nd ICD 9 code is necessary. For example, if you wish to run a viral culture for suspected herpes, a wet mount for vaginitis, or do a biopsy of an atypical wart you must use a Secondary Diagnosis. Note that some tests are further limited by gender and/or certain diagnosis codes. For example, the only ICD 9 code which will allow re-imbursement for a HSV culture is a penile or vulvar ulcer. No oral lesions are covered. The secondary diagnosis codes are used for treatment of identified STIs and vaginitis. STI screening tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis screening are included as the core screening services under a primary diagnosis code so therefore a 2nd ICD 9 code is not necessary unless treatment is going to be required.

    25. Urinary Tract Infection READ SLIDE / Explain GraphREAD SLIDE / Explain Graph

    26. Urinary Tract Infection Female Clients Only A detailed history is necessary to differentiate lower UTIs from pyelonephritis Preferred treatments for UTIs are TMP-SMX or ciprofloxacin given as a three-day regimen Nitrofurantoin is no longer on the formulary Read slideRead slide

    27. Urinary Tract Infection Female Clients Only 1st line: TMP-SMX (DS) BID for 3 days 2nd line: Ciprofloxacin 250 mg BID for 3 days… Concern re: Development of quinolone resistant strains of uropathogens 3rd line: Cephalexin 500 mg BID or 250 QID for seven days…Concern re: Increasing rates of cephalosporin resistance Lower completion rates than three day therapies Read slideRead slide

    28. Urinary Tract Infection Nitrofurantoin While used frequently in pregnant women with UTIs, it has no safety advantage in non-pregnant pts Lower completion rates than 3 day therapies Cost is 5-7 times higher than other regimens now that many generic companies have stopped manufacturing it Nitrofurantoin can (rarely ) induce hemolytic anemia in patients with G6PD Not useful in pyelonephritis Poor adherence with longer regimens. This medication was available in generic forms for may years but recently many manufacturers stopped making Nitrofurantoin and the price increased dramatically. Leaving it on the formulary would have cost the program approx 1 million/yr. A consensus decision was made among the FPACT medical advisors not to offer a medication that was not superior (and in many cases inferior) to the first line medications at 5-7 Xs the cost. Since this change to the formulary was made, there have been minimal-no complaints to the program from FPACT providers.Poor adherence with longer regimens.

    29. Urinary Tract Infections in Women How should UTI visits in women be coded? Restricted to female clients All claims for UTI services must contain a primary diagnosis (S-code) and a secondary diagnosis code If diagnosis of UTI, use code 595.0 (acute cystitis) If a UTI is presumptively treated, code for the presenting symptom 599.71 Gross hematuria 788.1 Dysuria 788.41 Urinary frequency 789.09 Abdominal pain, other specified site Read SlideRead Slide

    39. Drugs and Supplies NDC reporting requirements effective April 1, 2009 National Drug Code (NDC) Reporting: drugs subject to the federally established 340B Drug Pricing Program must be billed with modifier UD. Also, there are exceptions to NDC reporting requirements (e.g., X1500 & Z7610)* Deficit Reduction Act mandates that all physician-administered drug claims require a National Drug Code (NDC).* NDCs for physician-administered drugs must be paired with the appropriate HCPCS codes.* *Information in bullets 2, 3 and 4 were initially noted in FPACT Aug 2008 Update with reminder articles in Sep/08, Oct/08, Nov/08, Dec/08, Mar/09 and Jul/09 Updates. NDC Reporting: drugs subject to the federally established 340B Drug Pricing Program must be billed with modifier UD (March, 2009 Update) Effective for Dates of service on or after April 1, 2009. Why bill with UD modifier? Billing with the UD modifies enables Medi-Cal to exclude 340B services from rebate collection. Also, there are exceptions to NDC reporting requirements (e.g., X1500 & Z7610) (March, 2009 Update) All physician-administered drug claims require a National Drug Code (NDC) (March, 2009 Update) This is mandated by the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA), and all claims with dates of service on or after April 1, 2009 that do not meet the NDC reporting requirements by including a valid NDC with a HCPCP code will be denied.
