In an effort to better manage your account more closely to reflect the expected reimbursement amount, we would like to ask/remind you to please enter the last known reported hospice cert period in the Prior Hospice Day Count in eBilling for any patients you admit that have previously reported periods on the Medicare CWF (for any patient that is admitted/transferred to you in a period beyond a 1st 90).
The purpose of entering this information is to help close the gap on your expected paid amounts and your actual paid amount.
This means that when your payment is posted, the remaining write-off amount will be much lower than what is currently on your AR report.
For example: You are paid at a higher rate based on where the patient is on a specific day in their current cert period. This will help point the system to the more accurate rate of reimbursement.
How to add in eBilling:
Step 1: Click into eBilling. From the patient's chart select the General Tab
Step 2: Click the calendar box to enter the start date of the last reported period & the end date or transferred to your hospice date
