I participated in WPS' teleconference today regarding POS billing, and ended it with more confusion than when I started. The main focus of the event was to convey POS billing for interpretation services...that even if the dr interprets the test while at his office, the POS is where the beneficiary received the test. So...I understand that if, for instance, a capsule endoscopy was done at the outpatient hospital (POS 22), but read in our office (POS 11), we still bill out the professional component with POS 22. No problem there.
My confusion is the DOS for the interpretation. According to the WPS presenter, I should be billing out the DOS as the day he read the test.
What happens if it's an in-patient and the test is read after discharge? My DOS for POS 21 will fall outside the range of hospitalization dates. Won't that be a problem?
