Does anyone have a Medicare link that explains the requirment for Professional Component and date of service?
I found this, but I can't find the actual artical that it references.
What date of service does the professional component (PC) claim use, the date of the test or the date of the interpretation?
CMS Response: CR 7631 entitled “Revised and Clarified Place of Service Coding Instructions” did not change any existing date of service reporting requirements. The date of service requirements are discussed in our Medicare Claims Processing Manual; Publication 100-04, Chapter 26, Section 10.4. The longstanding billing practice for reporting the date of service has remained unchanged.
