New Information for Services Provided in the patient’s HOME

2011 CN2 – January 11, 2011

Effective for claims processed as of 1/1/2011, CMS (Medicare) requires that the HOME place of service (POS) must contain the address of the service.  The zip code of the patient’s (or family’s) home, where services were rendered, will determine the correct payment locality.  This information must be provided for any other POS that contractors consider to be a “home” place of service.  The complete address and the 5-digit or 9-digit zip code must appear in the address block of the Medicare claim.

Please be sure to supply us with the “home” address where your services were performed when billing any service at a patient’s home.
