Assignment task:
Your resident's primary diagnosis code in I0020B is S72.002D. He also has a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Using the PDPM ICD-10 mapping file, what is the impact of Parkinson's on the PDPM SLP case-mix group in this scenario? The resident will qualify for Acute Neurological (Parkinson's disease) for the calculation of the speech language pathology (SLP) component of PDPM. Parkinson's disease will qualify the resident for a SLP comorbidity for the calculation of the SLP component. The resident will not qualify for either an Acute Neurological primary diagnosis or a SLP comorbidity for the calculation of the SLP component. The resident will qualify for both the Acute Neurological and a Speech-related comorbidity for the SLP calculation in PDPM.
