Eligibility

Inpatient

The "Inpatient" sub-tab includes Inpatient, Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF), and Psychiatric Benefit Data sections. The Inpatient section provides hospital inpatient benefit and billing information. The SNF section provides SNF benefit and billing information.

NOTE: While the Psychiatric Benefit Data section now displays in myCGS, the data is not yet available in CMS' HIPAA Eligibility Transaction System (HETS) 270/271 system that we are required to access for eligibility.

The system will return hospital inpatient default deductibles based on the requested start year when the following occurs:

  • No inpatient spell data returned from the database overlaps or falls within 60 days of the requested date (range)
  • Entitlement period and request date period overlap
  • Part A entitlement start year is less than the requested start year

In addition, the system will continue to return the hospital inpatient default deductible remaining amounts, inpatient co-payment days, and SNF co-payment days based on the beneficiary's Part A entitlement start year when the following occurs:

  • No inpatient spell data returned from the database overlaps or falls within 60 days of the requested date (range)
  • Entitlement period and request date period overlap
  • Part A entitlement start year is less than or equal to the requested start year

NOTE: Depending on the date(s) range requested, multiple inpatient and SNF spells might be displayed. The data returned on this screen is directly impacted by timely submission of claims by the provider. The data returned is compiled from claims that have been processed by the Common Working File (CWF). To make sure you see all the information, enter a date range in the inquiry screen.

If a single hospital inpatient/SNF spell spans more than one calendar year, myCGS will return the daily co-payment amounts associated with the beginning year of the spell.

If there is no hospital inpatient/SNF spell within 60 days of the requested date(s) of service, myCGS will return default values for Part A spell data.
