Billing reminder for acute care hospitals and SNFs

July 31, 2017

[
Attention! An update has been made to this page.

When billing for inpatient services that are reimbursed per diem, acute care hospitals and skilled nursing facilities (SNF) should bill the revenue code applicable to the bed level the patient occupies while hospitalized.

As a reminder, if the bed level revenue code billed differs from what was authorized, Independence will reimburse according to the bed level billed, not to exceed the bed level revenue code authorized by Independence.
