The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has released a 4-minute animated explainer video titled "Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Items: Using Sources Other Than the Resident to Code," for SNF providers.
This resource is designed to help providers accurately determine when it is permissible to use sources other than the resident for coding SDOH items: A1005. Ethnicity, A1010. Race, A1110. Language, A1250. Transportation, B1300. Health Literacy, and D0700. Social Isolation.
Additionally, a Post-Event Q&A document from the “SNF QRP: Achieving a Full APU Webinar,” which occurred on March 26, 2024, is now available. This document provides answers to questions raised during the webinar.
