Mobile / portable xray

Radman85:
Ok good to know this info.  Regarding SNF/ALF patients will I be billing any component to the facility they are at?  Or will I be billing strictly their insurance for the exam?  Also I've heard mixed things about SNF/ALF's and housecalls using mobile imaging companies for their needs.  I've heard they can choose any mobile imaging company at any time for their services, and I've also heard that they have to sign a contract with only one company for an agreed upon length of service.  Can anyone shine some light on this aspect?  Thanks again for the help!

Michele:
Most SNFs have a contract with one portable xray company.  That contract will state what they will pay.  For example, with the company we bill for, the contracts state that they SNF will pay 80% of Medicare allowed amounts for patients within the part A stay for the TC, the set up and the travel.  The PC is billed to Medicare.
