NON RURAL HEALTH SERVICES

 These services are billed to Medicare Part B as FFS (fee for service) 
 Diagnostic testing (technical component) 
 X-ray 
 EKG 
 Laboratory services 
 Professional services done in the hospital

COMMINGLING
 Commingling is being paid twice from Medicare for the same service(s) and is considered fraud. 
 Since you are billing incident-to-services with the professional component to Medicare Part A as an RHC you cannot bill the same incident-to-services to Medicare Part B to receive a second payment.

MEDICAID BILLING

 Go into your state GOV website and find the RHC department. Search for the RHC billing manual for Medicaid in your state. 
 Some states require the Medicaid claims to be submitted on 1500 claim forms and others require Medicaid to be billed in the UB 04 format.

Variable Name : REV_DT{x} where { x } ranges from 1 to 58



Label :  Revenue Center Date
Effective with Version H, the date applicable to the service represented by the revenue center code. This field may be present on any of the institutional claim types. For home health claims the service date should be present on all bills with from date greater than 3/31/98. With the implementation of outpatient PPS, hospitals will be required to enter line item dates of service for all outpatient services which require a HCPCS. NOTE1: Beginning with NCH weekly process date 10/3/97 this field was populated with data. Claims processed prior to 10/3/97 will contain zeroes in this field. NOTE2: When revenue center code equals '0022' (SNF PPS) and revenue center HCPCS code not equal to 'AAA00' (default for no assessment), date represents the MDS RAI assessment reference date. NOTE3: When revenue center code equals '0023' (HHPPS), the date on the initial claim (RAP) must represent the first date of service in the episode. The final claim will match the '0023' information submitted on the initial claim. The SCIC (significant change in condition) claims may show additional '0023' revenue lines in which the date represents the date of the first service under the revised plan of treatment. 8 DIGITS UNSIGNED

Label :  Revenue Center HCFA Common Procedure Coding System Code
 HCFA's Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) is a collection of codes that represent procedures, supplies, products and services which may be provided to Medicare beneficiaries and to individuals enrolled in private health insurance programs. The codes are divided into three levels, or groups, as described below: DB2 ALIAS: REV_CNTR_HCPCS_CD

COMMENT: Prior to Version H this field was named: HCPCS_CD. With Version H, a prefix was added to denote the location of this field on each claim type (institutional: REV_CNTR and non-institutional: LINE). NOTE: When revenue center code = '0022' (SNF PPS) or '0023' (HH PPS), this field contains the Health Insurance PPS (HIPPS) code. The HIPPS code for SNF PPS contains the rate code/assessment type that identifies (1) RUG-III group the beneficiary was classified into as of the RAI MDS assessment reference date and (2) the type of assessment for payment purposes. The HIPPS code for Home Health PPS identifies (1) the three case-mix dimensions of the HHRG system, clinical, functional and utilization, from which a beneficiary is assigned to one of the 80 HHRG categories and (2) it identifies whether or not the elements of the code were computed or derived. The HHRGs, represented by the HIPPS coding, will be the basis of payment for each episode. For both SNF PPS & HH PPS HIPPS values see CLM_HIPPS_TB. Level I Codes and descriptors copyrighted by the American Medical Association's Current Procedural Terminology, Fourth Edition (CPT-4). These are 5 position numeric codes representing physician and nonphysician services. **** Note: **** CPT-4 codes including both long and short descriptions shall be used in accordance with the HCFA/AMA agreement. Any other use violates the AMA copyright. Level II Includes codes and descriptors copyrighted by the American Dental Association's Current Dental Terminology, Second Edition (CDT-2). These are 5 position alpha-numeric codes comprising the D series. All other level II codes and descriptors are approved and maintained jointly by the alpha-numeric editorial panel (consisting of HCFA, the Health Insurance Association of America, and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association). These are 5 position alphanumeric codes representing primarily items and nonphysician services that are not represented in the level I codes. Level III Codes and descriptors developed by Medicare carriers for use at the local (carrier) level. These are 5 position alpha-numeric codes in the W, X, Y or Z series representing physician and nonphysician services that are not represented in the level I or level II codes.

The claims contain one of the specific MCO Plan Contract # assigned to the Choices Demo site. NOTE1: Effective for all claim types with NCH weekly process date after 7/31/97 -- CWF adds Demo ID '05' to claim based on the presences of the MCO Plan Contract #. NOTE2: During the Version H conversion, Demo ID '05' was populated back to NCH weekly process date 8/97 based on the presence of the Choices indicator (stored as an alpha character crosswalked from MCO plan contract # in the Claim Edit Group, 4th occurrence, 2nd position, in Version 'G'). 06 = Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Demo -- testing bundled payment (all-inclusive global  pricing) for hospital + physician services related to CABG surgery in 7 hospitals in 7 states. The inpatient claims contain a DRG '106' or '107'. NOTE1: Effective for Inpatient claims and physician/supplier claims with Claim Edit Date no earlier than 6/1/91 (not all CABG sites started at the same time) -- on 5/1/97, CWF started transmitting Demo ID '06' on the claim. The FI adds the ID to the claim based on the presence of DRG '106' or '107' from specific providers for specified time periods; the carrier adds the ID to the claim based on receiving 'Daily Census List' from parti - cipating hospitals. Demo ID '06' will end once Demo ID '07' is implemented. NOTE2: During the Version H conversion, any claims where Medicare is the primary payer that were not already identified as Demo ID '06' (stored in the redefined Claim Edit Group, 4th occurrence, positions 3 and 4, Version G) were annotated based on the follow - ing criteria: Inpatient - presence of DRG '106' or '107' and a provider number=220897, 150897, 380897,450897,110082,230156 or 360085 for specified service dates; noninstitutional - presence of HCPCS modifier (initial and/or second) = 'Q2' and a carrier number =00700/31143 00630,01380,00900,01040/00511,00710,00623, or 13630 for specified service dates. 07 = Participating Centers of Excellence (PCOE) Demo -- testing a negotiated all-inclusive pricing arrangement (bundled rates) for highcost acute care cardiovascular and orthopedic procedures performed in 60-100 premier facili - ties in the Chicago and San Francisco Regions or by current CABG providers. The inpatient claims will contain a DRG '104','105','106', '107','112','124','125','209',or '471'; the related physician/supplier claims will contain the claim payment denial reason code = 'D'. NOTE: The demo is on HOLD. The FI and carrier will add Demo ID '07' to claim. 08 = Provider Partnership Demo -- testing per-case payment approaches for acute inpatient hospitalizations, making a lump-sum payment (combining the normal Part A PPS payment with the Part B allowed charges into a single fee schedule) to a Physician/Hospital Organization for all Part A and Part B services associated with a hospital admission. From 3 to 6 hospitals in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions may participate in the demo. NOTE: The demo is on HOLD. The FI and carrier will add Demo ID '08' to claim. 15 = ESRD Managed Care (MCO encounter data) - - testing open enrollment of ESRD beneficiaries and capitation rates adjusted for patient treatment needs at 3 MCOs in 3 States. The claims contain one of the specific MCO Plan Contract # assigned to the ESRD demo site. NOTE: Effective 10/1/97 (but not actually implemented at a site until 1/1/98) for all claim types -- the FI and carrier add Demo ID '15' to claim based on the presence of the MCO plan contract #. 30 = Lung Volume Reduction Surgery (LVRS) or National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT) Clinical Study -- evaluating the effectiveness of LVRS and maximum medical therapy (including pulmonary rehab) for Medicare beneficiaries in last stages of emphysema at 18 hospitals nationally, in collaboration with NIH. NOTE: Effective for all claim types (except DMERC) with NCH weekly process date after 2/27/98 (and service date after 10/31/97) -- the FI adds Demo ID '30' based on the presence of a condition code = EY; the participating physician (not the carrier) adds ID to the noninstitutional claim. DUE TO THE SENSITIVE NATURE OF THIS CLINICAL TRIAL AND UNDER THE TERMS OF THE INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT WITH NIH, THESE CLAIMS ARE PROCESSED BY CWF AND TRANSMITTED TO HCFA BUT NOT STORED IN THE NEARLINE FILE (access is restricted to study evaluators only). 31 = VA Pricing Special Processing (SPN) -- not really a demo but special request from VA due to court settlement; not Medicare services but VA inpatient and physician services submitted to FI 00400 and Carrier 00900 to obtain Medicare pricing -- CWF WILL PROCESS VA CLAIMS ANNOTATED WITH DEMO ID '31', BUT WILL NOT TRANSMIT TO HCFA (not in Nearline File). 37 = Medicare Coordinated Care Demonstration -- to test whether coordinated care services furnished to certain beneficiaries improve outcomes of care and reduce Medicare expenditures under Part A and Part B. There will be at least 9 Coordinated Care Entities (CCEs). The selected entities will be assigned a provider number specifically for the demonstration services. NOTE: The demo is on HOLD. The FI and carrier will add Demo ID '37' to claim. 38 = Physician Encounter Claims - the purpose of this demo id is to identify the physician encounter claims being processed at the HCFA Data Center (HDC). This number will help EDS in making the claim go through the appropriate processing logic, which differs from that for fee-for-service. **NOT IN NCH -- AVAILABLE IN NMUD.** NOTE: Effective October, 2000. Demo ids will not be assigned to Inpatient and Outpatient encounter claims. 39 = Centralized Billing of Flu and PPV Claims -- The purpose of this demo is to facilitate the processing carrier, Trailblazers, paying flu and PPV claims based on payment localities.
