Hi Mary, The Meditech Hospitals in the State of Maryland have had a meeting on 8/1/06 to discuss the POA indicator for UB04. In our state they want to implement this on 1/1/06. It is our understanding that Hospitals is Calif. and N.Y. are currently collecting this data. We have someone in our group which is trying to get information from MT Hospitals in these states. Our State has also added 2 other choices besides Y or N, they want N/A or Unknown when appropriate. We are hoping we can persuade our State to change their effective date to match Medicare. In our discussion we agreed in a "perfect" world the Case Managers or Documentation Staff should work with the Coding department to collect this data however in reality we also agreed that this task will most likely fall mainly in the Coders hands. We don't yet know how MT plans to approach this we have not yet attended any of their on-line seminars. I think our facility is going to attend next month.
