Wiki Billing G0180 & G0179 to Medicare

[samrichards]

When billing Medicare for Home Health Certifications; G0180 & G0179 with the date of service as the date of signature of MD. Patient is in the hospital for the date of the physician signature. We are billing for a place of service 11 –Office. Medicare is denying – cannot bill for an office visit when the patient is inpatient. Can this be billed with a place of service – “Home and a place of service 12”

POS 21 if patient has status of inpatient, regardless of where the service took place.
