Key Reminders
- • Only ONE qualifying comorbidity at any tier level is needed for that tier assignment
- • Tier-specific comorbidities are designated by CMS based on resource utilization
- • "Actively treated" means physician orders + treatment + documentation during IRF stay
- • "History of" conditions are NEVER coded as active comorbidities
- • Common conditions like hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and arthritis typically don't qualify
