Part B
enteral billing in long term care...
Your long term care facility can get a
Medicare Part B provider number and bill direct for enteral feeding,
urologic, ostomy, trach, and wound care supplies. Or you may choose an
outside company submit claims for these through its own provider number or
process the claims through your facility's provider number.
Regardless of the way you choose - it
pays to keep checking up on and updating your nursing home's Part B
billing arrangement. Improving your staff's understanding of the Part-B
program will reduce both your cost and the risk of billing Part B,
Medicaid, and private-pay residents inappropriately.
