To All Hospice Clients:

 

As of April 1, 2014 Medicare will require additional claim reporting for all Hospice Claims. Claims that have a HCPCS of Q5003, Q5004, Q5005, Q5007 or Q5008 will need to include the name and NPI of the service facility in Loop 2310E. The “PM’ modifier will now be required for post-mortem visits. Hospice claims must also include coding for non-injectable and injectable medications as well as infusion pumps/infusion medication. HBS release 1.2.7.25 addresses these requirements.

I have attached our instructions for setup and implementation of these new regulations. You must be on Version 1.2.7.25 to implement these changes.  You will need to make some changes and additions to your billing application to prepare yourself for these upcoming regulatory changes.


 

Please feel free to contact HAS Support for assistance.
