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 for episodes beginning on or after July 1, 2013, HHAs must report where home health 
services were provided. The following codes are used for this reporting:  
 
Q5001: Hospice or home health care provided in patient's home/residence  
Q5002: Hospice or home health care provided in assisted living facility  
Q5009: Hospice or home health care provided in place not otherwise specified  
 
The location where services were provided must always be reported along with the first visit reported on the 
claim. In addition to reporting a visit line using the G codes as described above, 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 (e.g., a penny). If the location where services were 
provided changes during the episode, the new location should be reported with an additional line corresponding 
to the first visit provided in the new location.  
 
You can find this information in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 10, 40.2 
 
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 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 Medicare 
Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 1, Section 80.3.1.
