CMS Billing Changes Take Effect Today
Starting today, RHCs are required to report the appropriate HCPCS code for each service line along with the revenue code. Services provided through March 31 should be billed under the previous guidelines. Payment for RHC services will continue to be made under the All-Inclusive Rate (AIR) system when all program requirements are met.
The following resources contain detailed information on navigating the billing policy changes:
