Dear List,
The Scenario:
Traditionally, our company has required purchase orders for any and all services rendered in the hospital, regardless of insurance coverage (we bill the hospital and the hospital bills the patient). Recently, a new hospital asked us why we couldn't bill private insurace and medicaid patients directly (they understand that medicare patients must be billed thru the hospital).
The question:
1. Does anyone have any experience with billing a patient's insurance directly when the patient is seen while in the hospital? If so, what has your experience been? Do you get paid? Any advice?
Thanks for your time,
Kimberly Hill, MSPO, LCO, CP
