(1/2) > >>

gelianamber:
I am confused and i just wanna ask "what's the difference between hospice billing vs. hospital billing in filing insurance?Please help me....

Thank you very much and more power..

Michele:
Hospital billing is for the facility charges for any services performed in a hospital.  Hospice billing is for services performed by a Hospice company and are usually performed in a patient's home.  Both are filed on UB04 forms.

gelianamber:
It is very clear for me the difference of hospital and hospice and thank you for your prompt reply Michele. Now the question that comes in my mind is that, how do I determine whether the claims is under hospice claim or hospital claim?

Thank you and God Bless..

Michele:
The rev codes for hospital will be slightly different than rev codes for hospice.  Are you doing the billing for both hospital and hospice?  If so, it should be given to you as either hospital charges, or hospice charges.  I'm not sure why you would need to figure out which is which.

gelianamber:
Thanks for your reply.It sounds you are annoyed::).  I'm sorry...

Actually I'm not doing hospice or hospital billing claims. It`s just that I am just interested to know it because I really want to learn in the field of billing aside from enrolling in a medical billing/coding school.I presume that forum can help people to learn new things at it can develop your knowledge too through exchanging ideas.
