This week’s updates include the SNF Consolidated Billing update and a special edition MLN Matters article regarding claims submission alternatives for providers who have difficulties submitting ICD-10 claims.
While implementation of the long awaited and long overdue ICD-10 coding system is just around the corner, some questions still remain regarding “split billing” based on the October 1, 2015, date of service. Lately, I have been asked questions by billing staff from both PPS and critical access hospitals (CAH) so this may be a good time to clarify how and when to split bill.
