The rules say for purposes of payment under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS), the Place of 
Service (POS) code is generally used to reflect the actual setting where the beneficiary receives the face-to-face 
service. For example, if the physician's face-to-face encounter with a patient occurs in the office, the correct 
POS code on the claim, in general, reflects the 2-digit POS code 11 for office. In these instances, the 2-digit 
POS code (Item 24B on the claim Form CMS-1500) will match the address and ZIP entered in the service 
location (Item 32 on the 1500 Form) - the physical/geographical location of the physician. However, there are 
two exceptions to this general rule - these are for a service rendered to a patient who is a registered inpatient or 
an outpatient of a hospital. In these cases, the correct POS code -- regardless of where the face-to-face service 
occurs -- is that of the appropriate inpatient POS code (at a minimum POS code 21) or that of the appropriate 
outpatient hospital POS code (at a minimum POS code 22) as discussed in section 10.5 of this chapter. So, if in 
the above example, the patient seen in the physician's office is actually an inpatient of the hospital, POS code 
21, for inpatient hospital, is correct. In this example, the POS code reflects a different setting than the address 
and ZIP code of the practice location (the physician's office). You can find this rule in the Medicare Claims 
Processing Manual Chapter 26, Section 10.6.

The rules say that Medicare pays for home health care services under a prospective payment system (HH PPS). Home health services under a plan of care are paid based on a 60-day episode of care. Payment for home health care episodes is usually made in two parts. To receive the first part of the HH PPS split payment, the home health agency must submit a Request for Anticipated Payment (RAP). Specific data elements are required to submit a RAP. The home health agency must enter the claim - Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) matching key output by the Grouper software. This is known as the Treatment Authorization Code. You can find this rule, a list of the data elements, and instructions for the Treatment Authorization Code in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 10, Section 40.1. The rules say that after a RAP has been paid and a 60-day episode has been completed or the enrollee has been discharged, the home health agency must submit a claim to receive the rest of payment due for the episode. You can find this rule and detailed instructions for the claim in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 10, Section 40.2. The rules say that in addition to reporting a visit line using the G codes, HHAs must report an additional line item with the same revenue code and date of service, reporting one of the three Q codes (Q5001, Q5002, and Q5009), one unit and a nominal covered charge. You can find this rule in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 10, Section 40.2. The rules also say that certain data elements are required. Any claim with incomplete, missing, or invalid information for all of these elements may be returned as unprocessable. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 1, Section 80.3.1.
