The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) shared a resource in the MLN Connects newsletter reviewing proper billing codes for physician services in nursing homes.
Improving Payment Accuracy for Physician Services in Skilled Nursing Facilities reviews coding for both patients covered under a Medicare Part A stay and those who have exhausted their Part A stay consistent with the Administration’s focus of reducing waste, fraud, and abuse.
CMS states that questions should be directed to the Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC).
You can find your MAC here.
