My provider is a family practice doctor who recently had a Hospice patient as Inpatient. The patient was seen for Hospice related diagnosis and has Medicare as primary and Medicaid secondary.... Can I bill medicaid? I am aware of modifiers GV and GW... We are based in Louisiana. I am having trouble finding information regarding this even after calling the Medicaid provider line.... Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Beth
 
GW won't work

GW = Service not related to the hospice patients terminal condition.
Again I am trying to bill Medicaid... I feel like using GW would be fraud as per below pt was seen for Hospice related diagnosis.
If I can't bill medicaid them do I bill Hospice after Medicare pays?
