Tip of the Month:
The term CAR (Case Activity Report) refers to a form that is utilized by Iowa Medicaid to track admissions, discharges, and transfers from various programs and levels of care. CAR forms are generated at Iowa Medicaid based upon entries that nursing facilities submit into the part of the PASRR database known as PathTracker+ (or PathTracker Plus). Since February 1, 2016, use of PathTracker+ by NFs (including NFMIs) has been mandatory for 100% of admissions, transfers, and discharges . The entries made by NFs in PathTracker+ is what produces the CAR form that is electronically received by Iowa Medicaid as part of a result of a daily data transfer. Use of paper CAR forms by NFs is strictly prohibited as they result in inaccurate records for individual placement histories and very often create delays in timely payment processing. While paper CAR forms are never to be used by Iowa nursing facilities, they do continue to be used by many other programs, including hospice, and other programs that do not have access to or utilize PathTracker+.
