Know The Secrets Of SNF Billing Guidelines

• Skilled nursing homes provide long-term care
  through support with everyday activities,
  rehabilitation, and medication and treatment
  administration. Families of elders considering
  placing their loved ones in skilled nursing or
  assisted living must first grasp nursing home
  billing and coding guidelines in order to
  determine what type of care they will require and
  who will pay for it. Some of the secrets of SNF
  billing and coding guidelines are as follows

• Billing Cycle
• Nursing homes are billed on a monthly basis.
  Skilled nursing facilities should use Form
  CMS-1450 when paying for Medicaid Part A. These
  monthly claims must be submitted on time
  following a residents
• Discharge
• Drop from skilled care in an SNF
• Exhaustion of their benefit period
• Level of Care Provided
• Long-term care facilities give varying levels of
  care to their residents. Independent living
  facilities do not provide the same degree of CARE
  as assisted living facilities. In the meanwhile,
  an assisted living facility will not offer the
  same degree of care as a memory care centre.

• Type of Insurance Accepted
• If a senior qualifies for Medicare Part A,
  Medicare will cover the entire cost of their stay
  in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) for up to 20
  days. From day 21 to day 100, a variable daily
  coinsurance rate takes effect, with Medicare
  continuing to cover a portion of the stay. Staff
  should continue to submit monthly claims for
  non-covered services delivered to the resident
  after the benefits period has expired. This
  ensures that the claims system can track the
  benefit period appropriately. Medicare Part A
  covers the following services
• Temporary inpatient care, whether it be in
  a hospital setting or a skilled nursing facility.
• Hospice care services
• Home health care services
• Leave of Absence  
• Billing Tips
