The rules say that plans must pay for amedical service or item if regular Medicare would pay for it in this case. You can find this rule at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.101.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 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 Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 10, Section 40.2.The rules say that For HH PPS periods of care beginning on and after January 1, 2020, the distinct 5-position, alphanumeric home health HIPPS codes are created as follows:The first position remains a numeric value, but no longer represents a grouping step. The first position represents a combination of the referral source (communityor institutional) and the period timing (early or late).The second and third positions continue to represent the clinical and functional domains of the HHRG coding system.The fourth position represents the co-morbidity category that applies to the patient.The fifth position is a placeholder for future use, required only because the field used to report HIPPS codes requires five positions.You can find this information in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 10, 10.1.9The rules also say that certain data elements are required. Any claim with incomplete, missing, or invalid information for all of these elementsmay be returned as unprocessable.
