Home Health Bill Types for Medicare Advantage Plans

[Turcottejenn]

I am looking to get some guidance around billing home health claims to Medicare Advantage plans. We have a fee for service agreement and we are being advised that bill type 322 is no longer a valid bill type for all home health claims. Has anyone else experienced this with Medicare Advantage Fee for Service agreements? Also do you have any documenation advising whether or no bill type 322 is still valid on Fee for Service agreements?

Hmmmm, so 322 would be for home health interim first claim.  Are they pointing you to any reference?  Is it possible they just want a 4th digit?  Some carriers require a 4 digit type of bill so you just put a '0' on the front.
