RE: Job Description Request

April 17, 2003

I would like to know if anyone would be willing to share their job description with me? Currently my work and job description don't match. I am one of three TFC's at my Hospital and our job has been lumped in with a general accounting position. I would like to offer a rewrite of what I do, but not sure where to start. [(Aguiar, )] My suggestion would be to start w/the role description in the UNOS By-Laws pertaining to TFC's, use that as a foundation, & add whatever additional pieces are necessary to meet the needs of your individual program(s) or center. You can find the TFC portion of the By-Laws on the TFCA website here http://www.tfcassociation.org/unos_bylaws.htm

Good luck,

I would like to ask a new question, there has been numerous conversations in

my office concerning when a patient needs to apply for Medicare which is

either at onset of dialysis or at the time of transplant. If the patient

chooses to do it at or after transplant some of my superiors are saying that

it needs to be in the hospital setting at transplant. Does anyone have

other information or could this be clarified. Thank you.

The application must be filed before the Transplant since Medicare will

not cover anyone who is not active @ the time of transplant. Keep in

mind that it may take up to 2 years for Medicare coverage to become active.

If applying for Medicare at time of kidney transplant, Medicare will become

effective the 1st day of the month of transplant. Coverage could go retroactive

up to 1 year if the patient would have qualified for Medicare at that time.

The 2 year waiting period is for people who applied for SSDI for a disability

other than ESRD.

I believe that is for patients with Liver disease and the 2 years is for

patients who are on disability, this is not for patients with end stage

renal disease. The can apply at the time of transplant and the application

would be back dated to the first of the month. My issue is does this

application need to be done in the hospital, or could the patients apply at

a later date or some where else.

Our renal network will reject the form if it is signed prior to actual

surgery or admission (scheduled living donor) to hospital, and prefers to

have it signed the week after discharge. Also, Box 15 question, regarding

employment status is misleading for transplant surgery and I have been told

it should be answered after discharge but prior to required medical leave or

post op recovery period in effect. It is answered based on anticipated

employment status after recovery. Other question on line 33, current status

of transplant can also be prematurely answered if you have a " sleeping

kidney " while patient is still in-house. Our Renal Network requires the

2728 form to be filled out within so many weeks of transplant no matter

what, but SS can allow retro application up to 1 year post transplant and

are rarely in a hurry to prioritize and complete application.

I'm waiting on a response from our Social Security office but my guess is that

the patient has up to 1 year to apply since Medicare can go retro up to 1 year.

However, I would not recommend this as this holds up reimbursement, increasing

AR days.

Just received a return call from our Social Security office. Was told that the

notification should be done by either the dialysis center or the transplant

department. You may already know this but the 2728 form is just a notification

or certification. Even when answering " yes " to the question if patient wants

Medicare, another form, Form 43, must be sent as well. That form confirms

patients' request to apply for Medicare.

We encourage patients to sign up for Medicare when they begin dialysis,

but often they don't, which creates billing problems if they don't sign

up well before the 30 mon flip date. That's when the bills start to

bounce around and the patients start to receive the bills.

What happens if a patient signs up after the first year of dialysis for

Medicare A & B?

Will they be retro billed at a higher rate for part B from the start

date or the last enrollment date?

Thanks

It's my understanding that patients will not be charged a penalty if they apply when their 30 months have ended.
