Do private insurers use the consolidated billing system for residents in skilled nursing facilities?
The SNF consolidated billing system is specific to Medicare. You should verify how your private payers will reimburse for services provided to patients who are residents of an SNF. Where can I find more information on SNF consolidated billing? More information on SNF consolidated billing can be obtained by calling the local Medicare carrier or fiscal intermediary. The CMS also provides an abundant amount of information online at www.cms.hhs.gov/SNFPPS/05_ConsolidatedBilling.asp. ASCO reimbursement staff can help answer your oncology billing, coding, and practice management questions.
