Q: We operate a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and just heard from our billing office that there are new requirements for submitting claims. They want us to close out accounts weekly in order for them to bill them. We have done 30-day accounts prior to this and don’t see why they want to change things. Is there a certain timeframe required for billing these services? This is a huge inconvenience to make this work for the business office.
