Hello List
My previous post to the list regarding reimbursement for home visits
was to locate the actual language that addresses this issue and to be able to
contrast and compare between Medicare and any other examples. The Medicare
language is fairly clear in stating that an L-code essentially includes all
associated service including travel and home visits but I have not seen much else
from other payors, government or otherwise. I believe that some Medicaid
programs may reimburse for this if a patient cannot travel.
