 I just started billing a group of therapist an the POS they were billing was 11 for office but they go to the patients home to do in home therapy.counseling shouldnt the POS be 12

RichardP:
Yes.

If you think you want to do something about this, don't - until you know what the chart says.  The billing must match what is in the chart.  If the therapists are writing in the chart that they saw the patient in the office, when you know the patient was seen at home, you will need to consider whether you want them as a client.

Merry:
Agree with Richard.  You need to find out why they are using 11 instead of 12

Hate to be the devils advocate as well but if you are billing the POS 11 when you know it's incorrect (appears you do know) you want to stop ASAP..
you become a knowing and willing participant once you are billing something you know is incorrect.

RichardP:
We have a client who has set up a separate legal entity for home healthcare.  It has its own EIN and NPI Numbers.  Client hired a Nurse Practitioner to run the thing.  NP goes to the home and does her stuff, and we bill under the name and numbers of the home healthcare entity.  The patients' home addresses are listed as the place of service on this billing.

BUT - the NP draws blood and sends it back to the Office to be run through the doctor's Physician Office Lab (POL).  That works gets billed in the name of the doctor, with the doctor's numbers.

SO - is there a chance the stuff being billed as POS = 11 is actually work that was collected in the home - but the work being billed for was actually performed in the doctor's office?
