Wiki Depo Lupron not being paid by Medicare

[adweaver]

I billed for a Depo Lupron injection to Medicare. They are denying this stating the patient is in a skilled nursing facility. What can I do to get this paid?

Call to SNF and ask them to reimburse you. We do the same.

We bill the SNFs as invoices. Here is the link to the list you need to use to see if you file to the SNF or to Medicare. If it says no then file Medicare and it is says yes we file to the SNF. Hope this helps
