Medcare MSO’s Skilled Nursing Facility Billing Services
Outsourcing medical coding and billing cycle has become a popular solution for medical institutions of all kinds and can be especially helpful for those running nursing homes. It is important to work with a professional organization, like Medcare MSO, with certified coders and staff who are all trained in HIPAA best practices and have experience in nursing home medical billing
Why Outsource Skilled Billing and Coding?
Running a nursing care home requires medical staff to stay up to date on patient care and be available to handle emergencies. That doesn’t create the ideal environment for detailed paperwork, especially if staff are highly trained and expected to do more than just the medical billing. It is far more efficient to have experts who deal only with nursing homemedical billing services take care of it, so medical personnel can focus on patient care. These are just a few of the aspects that make medical billing process for skilled nursing facilities so complex
Complicated Medicare Rules
Medicare Part A provides coverage for nursing homes, but there are several conditions that must be met, and they can be very confusing. The patient must be receiving a skilled level of skilled medical care related to a recent hospitalization, etc. Medical billers must be attentive to the details of coding for these patients or claims will be rejected.
Multiple Insurers
Medicare Part A covers a nursing home stay requiring skilled nursing care for a limited time, but there are many people who must live in a nursing home, but not in relation to a condition for which they were recently hospitalized. There are some private insurers that provide long term care plans and Medicaid provides coverage for those who need to be in a nursing home but don’t have the money to pay for it. The amounts covered and conditions under which Medicaid applies vary from state to state.
Consolidated Billing
Most services and medications provided in a nursing home are included in the “consolidated billing” daily rate set by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), but there are several categories of exceptions, such as oncology. These claims for specialized services must be processed through the nursing home, so it is important for billers to be aware of what the additional services are, and how to code them correctly.
