I bill PT, OT & ST claims to Medicare as an Outpatient Rehab Facility. I billed a patient who has a dependent HIC number and I received the following error....
Err Code: 05 - Err Desc: IHL-04S0: INVALID HIERARCHICAL CHILD CODE
Does anyone know what field on the UB04 this belongs in? I have read information and I should be billing a "0" but don't know where to put it. Also, does this only pertain to patients with a "D" at the end of their HIC number? I have been billing for 7 years and I have never seen this error.
Thanks!
