PURPOSE:

The purpose of amending Chapter 59B-9, F.A.C., is to standardize this rule with Chapter 59E-7, F.A.C., requirements and align current data elements collected to the uniform bill for institutional facilities (UB-04), as approved by the National uniform Billing Committee (NUBC) effective October 1, 2007. Additional clarification is necessary to refine ambulatory services, inclusion of report deadlines, define resubmission requirements, patient data release, and coincide terminology to national standards.

SUMMARY:

Amendment to Chapter 59B-9, F.A.C., will enable standardization between both data sets for requirements that were omitted and/or conflicting with Chapter 59E-7, F.A.C. It will facilitate direct data elements correlation from the UB-04 source document and therefore decrease potential errors introduced by having to re-map elements from the UB-04 to the expired UB-92 source document format. The rule contains report deadlines based on an outdated collection system where facility reports were submitted on mailed diskettes. Current electronic data submission applications expedite the collection process time negating the need for extended time frames. Shortened deadlines will afford quicker data availability to meet the growing demand by researchers and consumers who desire current data access on the consumer website and available for purchase.
