can I bill Medicare if the patient is deceased?

(1/1)

vidiabill:
sounds like fraud, sure, but what if the services were provided while the patient was alive.  would this be a trigger for an audit, should I even bother if this patient was never billed and has since passed away?

PMRNC:
Nope, not fraud.. you wont' cross line until you go to balance bill.

Pay_My_Claims:
we deal with that all the time in DME- custom rehab with client with ALS. by the time we deliver the equipment, and get ready to bill, client is deceased
