Please help! Second time posting this question...

our doctor is a PCP and sees patients in Nursing Homes also.
patient is staying in a nursing Home but the pt was in Hospice
ca i bill this to Medicare?
if yes how do I code this and what POS code should i use?

will it be right if i use nursing home codes(99304-99310) and the POS code 34?

I am not sure if this is right or wrong. Can anybody advise on this please...

thank you

Our physicians do these types of visits.....I post as appropriate nursing home charge (99304 - 99316). POS would be SNF 31, NF 32. If it is a Hospice facility, then use 34. Attach Modifier GV to CPT code to indicate your physician is not hospice physician/employed by the hospice service.

Hope this helps!
