Wiki Billing Hospice Care Oversight

[taralang]

Can anyone please help me on billing for hospice care oversight from a family practice?? I have billed code G0182 and it keeps denying CO-16 with medicare. I am not familiar with billing these at all and this was the code given to me from our previous billing company.

see if any of this information helps you out....HCPCS code G0182 must be the first and last date during which documented care planning services were actually provided during the calendar month (not the first and last calendar date of the month in which the claim in submitted).

Also don't forget your modifier(s) if needed.... here is a link also http://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Edu.../MLNProducts/downloads/hospice_pay_sys_fs.pdf
