I bill for a number of ambulatory surgery centers in California and given the current COVID issues, we are looking to enroll with CMS as a hospital as part of the 3/20/2020 federal guidelines announcing hospitals without walls. We are looking for guidance on how to bill Medicare as a hospital, as our team is only familiar with ASC and Physician billing.
Anyone who is familiar with billing OUTPATEINT procedures to MEDICARE as a HOSPITAL - can you outline your billing processes? Visits will be <24 hours, but we are unclear if we submit claims on a HCFA or UB form, and what billing guidelines we should follow to ensure compliance. Our Medicare contractor is Noridian.
Let me know if any additional details are needed. Thank you in advance!
