Hospice vs. hopital billing claims

<< < (2/2)

Michele:
No I wasn't annoyed.  Sorry if it sounded that way.   :-[

I just couldn't figure out from what angle you were coming to answer the questions so I was going round and round with myself!

Anyway, if you are doing billing you wouldn't get hospice and hospital billing from the same place, so you would know by who you are billing for.  Also, hospital billing would be using places of service 21 - inpatient, 22 outpatient.  Hospice would be using 12 - home. 

Hospital billing would be for room & board, etc.  Hospice billing would be for possibly equipment for home, visiting nurses, etc.

Hope that helps, and doesn't sound annoyed.   :D

I guess I shouldn't try to answer questions before bedtime.  We put this forum up to help people, so I certainly wouldn't want anything thinking we don't want to help.
