multiple charges

I have a encounter form with dates of service from the 16th to the 1st. Can I split this up and make 2 seperate claims for all the procedures or can I just add each unit for the code such as 99223- 5 units and put the date range as the 09162009-10012009?

There was a blurb in BC Advantage last month regarding this exact thing. And they said the same thing I will say here - you stand a better chance of getting the services paid if you split each visit out on a separate line. Many insurance carriers do not process them correctly when you will them with a unit greater than 1. Seems like it should work, but it doesn't. JMO

Thanks, so I can just make maybe 3 seperate claims for the same continious service? Just change the hospitalization date to reflect the line items?
Michele:
You will want to bill a separate line for each date of service. It will take a few cms forms since you can only fit 6 lines on a claim.

So i can just make different claims? Do i need to change the hospitalization dates to the ones that are reflected in the procedures or do i keep that the same?
