Who is Responsible for Resident Consent?
PrimeSource Healthcare prefers to partner with the facility for the resident
consent process. We request the facility provide documentation about all
residents, which includes:
-
Current census.
- Copies of all face sheets.
- Completed profile and demographic sheets.
- Sufficient supply of facility letterhead and envelopes for a mailing to each resident or responsible party.
PrimeSource Healthcare will mail consent notification letters to residents or responsible parties in order to introduce our healthcare company, provide information about the TotalCare™ Guarantee, and inform the reader of the right to choose a
different provider of services.
Please note: Each resident is responsible for notifying the facility of his/her intent to use another provider. This notification must be forwarded
by the facility to PrimeSource so that we can maintain an accurate database
for your facility.
When a facility contracts with PrimeSource Healthcare, we become the provider of choice. All residents are deemed to have consented to all our services, unless a patient indicates a desire to choose another provider. This procedure is consistent with other ancillary service providers’ forms of consent, such as pharmacy and laboratory.
For new admits, PrimeSource Healthcare will provide brochures and consent notification letters to place in the facility’s admission packet. If the new resident selects
a different provider, please forward the signed consent notification letter
to PrimeSource.

In Regards to HIPAA Regulations: Are PrimeSource Associates Allowed Access to Patient Health Information?
YES. As healthcare professionals, we understand that health information is sensitive and personal. While everyone at PrimeSource
Healthcare is committed to the privacy of patients, in order to serve them, we need to gather, keep and use the health information typically documented on face sheets or patient registration forms.
PrimeSource's healthcare professionals and Associates are trained in the privacy regulations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and aware of the rules and limits on who can look at and receive patient information. HIPAA does, however, have provisions to allow access
to information when used for healthcare purposes by providers such as PrimeSource Healthcare.
PrimeSource wants you to know the health information we use is for providing treatment and coordinating care of our patients. In addition, PrimeSource may use the information to obtain/seek payment
for our services. Be assured PrimeSource will not use or disclose more health information than is absolutely necessary, and only to those who need access to it. If you have questions concerning our use of health information, please contact Bradley Cohn, PrimeSource Healthcare’s HIPAA Privacy Officer and General Counsel, at 1-800-317-0711.

What is the Liability Program?
Under Medicaid Policy (Manual Section 3455.15.10 “Deductions From Income in Post Eligibility”), when a Medicaid recipient requires or has a medical need not covered by Medicaid, then in such event, the resident’s income may be applied to cover the cost of such medical need, (i.e., dentures, hearing aids or eyeglasses). While these prosthetics/medical devices are generally covered, there are times when Medicaid may deny coverage. In these cases, when medically necessary, PrimeSource will pursue payment through the Liability Program.
In cases when a resident’s income is offset to pay for
dentures or other non-covered medically necessary care, Medicaid makes up the difference leaving the facility fully reimbursed.
When a PrimeSource-affiliated Provider examines a resident whose treatment plan falls under the
Liability Guidelines for Reimbursement,
PrimeSource will obtain consent from the resident
or responsible party. Upon receiving consent,
PrimeSource will provide the treatment or
manufacture the prosthetic or medical device.
PrimeSource forwards all required documentation to the facility and to the resident’s caseworker. The caseworker approves the charge and initiates the diversion of the resident’s income (“liability”) to pay for the service or prosthetic. This is termed“reducing the resident’s liability to zero”.
Liability requests for insurance co-payments or
balances will be based on the general consent
for services.
