System Team Leaders have been identified for all areas that require SIM maintenance of CPT4 codes. Baptist Healthcare System, Inc. Carl Herde, Chief Financial Officer PURPOSE The purpose of this policy is to establish a process for Maintenance of the Service Item Master (SIM) and Pathways Materials Management Database (PMM) that supports standardization of item numbers for procedures, supply and Pharmacy items, and complies with Medicare regulations for billing. POLICY All BHS employees are responsible for ensuring that standardization is maintained and that items are added to the Service Item Master in a timely manner to ensure appropriate reimbursement as directed by Medicare regulations. PMM items must also be set up in accordance with established policies for commodity codes, expense codes, etc. SIM items must also be setup in accordance with established productivity, cost accounting and budgeting guidelines to maintain the integrity of the information used in these processes. All additions, changes, and deletions to the SIM screen, HCPC/CPT screen, and productivity flag screen will be made by the Corporate Compliance Department staff; the hospitals will continue to work with the screens for discounting, variable pricing, and yearly percentage price increases. All additions, changes, and deletions to the PMM database will be coordinated through the Corporate Compliance Department per established PMM policy. 1. DEFINITIONS: For the purpose of this policy, the following abbreviations shall have the meaning specified: DMA PMMDA CMC STL DSA SIM EDPFS CMO Database Management Assistant PMM Database Analyst Charge Management Coordinator System Team Leader Decision Support Analyst Service Item Master Executive Director of Patient Financial Services Care Manager Orders Coordinators 1

3 PROCEDURES I. Maintenance of the Standardized Procedure SIM A. Requests for new procedures or modifications to the SIM should be submitted to Corporate Compliance utilizing the template. (see attached procedure) All information should be filled out on the template before sending to Compliance, including cost information, CPT code, patient charge amount, etc. SIM maintenance should be completed no later than seven (7) working days from the time the complete request was originally submitted (complete request is defined as all data elements are present and item has been defined by use). B. Requests for new procedures or changes to existing procedures that may affect productivity, budgeting or cost accounting should be discussed with the DSA or the Director of Finance at the individual facility prior to submission of a formal request. The Management Engineer should be consulted on productivity issues when necessary, per the Policy on Maintaining Premier Productivity Benchmarks. C. Requests for new procedures and any change to the SIM, such as description, HCPC or CPT code, must be approved by the STL on the template. The STL is not required to approve a price change or activation/deletion on an individual hospital s SIM. (See guidelines attached to this policy.) D. If the template is incomplete, it will be returned to the requestor for more information or clarification. If STL approval is required, the template should be sent to STL before submitting to Compliance. Upon approval, the STL will send to Compliance. Compliance will review all information and process the template. The BHS Master SIM and individual hospital SIM will not be modified until the applicable template is completed and reviewed. (see guidelines for SIM template attached to this policy) E.

F.

Once all necessary deletions are complete at the facility the information is communicated for the DMA to finalize deletion from the SIM.

The CMC and DMA will keep the documentation associated with the maintenance of the BHS SIM and the individual hospital SIM. This documentation must be maintained for a minimum of seven years. J.

If there is an existing SIM number that can be used, the PMMDA will add this information to the template. If there is no existing SIM number, the PMMDA will forward the template to the CMC for SIM assignment. D. After receiving the template from the PMMDA, the CMC will assign a SIM number, description, and HCPC code (if applicable and not provided by the hospital) and forward the template to DMA for addition to the Master SIM, the requesting hospital's SIM, and the PMM database.

The DMA will send an notification to the appropriate SIM routes once the BHS Master and individual hospital SIM have been modified. G. If one facility reuses an item that is disposable at another facility, a SIM number will be created for the item. The facility that reuses the item will use the SIM for statistical purposes only. H.

B. Usage of miscellaneous SIM numbers will be limited to those items that are considered to be non-formulary items and do not have a HCPC. Non-formulary medications are utilized when there is no formulary alternative available for the condition being treated. These may be a continuation of a patient s home therapy or treatment or rare conditions. Generally, non-formulary items are not routinely stocked in the pharmacy and the same item may only be used for 1-2 patients per year. C. These numbers will be limited to two one number for self-administered medications and one number for injectable medications. D. The Miscellaneous SIM number exception report will be reviewed daily by the hospital Pharmacist or designee to determine if a medication that is listed on the report has a HCPC code. If the item has a HCPC code, a SIM number will be requested via the current SIM template, even if the item will not be added to the hospital s formulary. 6
7 MONITORING PROCEDURE Exception reports that compare the Hospital SIM to the BHS Master will be reviewed weekly by the CMC or designee. Necessary corrections will be sent to the DMA via spreadsheet.
