Billing an Assisted Living Facility

[SydGerman]

Our provider frequently sees skilled nursing home patients in our office, but recently he saw an assisted living patient in our office who only has Medicare part A (does not cover our professional office visit charge). Do I bill the assisted living facility who brought her here or do I bill the patient directly? Thanks.

Patient since physician visits are not included in the Room and Board payments to the SNF.
