Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a medical condition occurring in critically ill patients characterized by widespread inflammation in the lungs. ARDS is not a particular disease, rather it is a clinical phenotype which may be triggered by various pathologies such as trauma, pneumonia and sepsis.
For example, a Medicare-required 14 day assessment with an ARD of day 8 (4 days early) would be paid at the default rate for the first 4 days of the payment period that begins on day 15.
