I am the biller for an outpatient PT/OT/SLP clinic that bills on a CMS-1500 with POS 11 Office. We have been receiving referrals for "in home" therapy for Medicare patients. We are not a home health agency and these referrals are not for home health. Does anyone know if I can bill for therapy services with POS 12 Home and get reimbursed from Medicare? These patients are not documented as "home-bound" but it is a hardship or lack of transportation that is causing the referral. I have found articles stating that home health agencies can bill for outpatient therapies but I cannot find a clear answer for the opposite scenario. Any help would be great, thanks!
