Need help with your hospice billing? HHH MAC NHIC has issued two new billing guides that may help -- on Notices of Election (NOEs) and reporting hospice discharges, revocations, and transfers. The 22-page NOE guide steps users through the FISS DDE screens and claims specs at www.medicarenhic.com/providers/pubs/HospiceClmSubmitBG0412.pdf. The four-page discharge, revocation, and transfer guide offers advice on how to handle situations such as the beneficiary moving out of the service area and no longer being terminally ill at www.medicarenhic.com/providers/pubs/HospiceDischargeRevocationJobAid.pdf.
