How We Streamline Hospice Billing For Your Practice
We have designed our services to help streamline billing processes for your hospice practice. We provide end-to-end billing solutions, from insurance verification to claims submission and electronic payments to collections follow-up. Our AAPC and AMA certified experts provide billing services that adhere to various payer guidelines and codebooks. Here is how we do it for you.
- Integrate digital billing systems such as EHR, EMR, and EDI into the hospice-specific billing software to facilitate faster and accurate electronic claims processing.
- Verify patient information (demographics, medical history) and insurance information (insurance coverage, eligibility, effective dates, expiration dates, and claim addresses) to prevent billing errors and reduce claims denials.
- Verify pre-authorization needs and process the documentation accordingly stating the medical necessity of services to get prompt approval from insurance payers.
- Assign specific billing codes for the hospice procedures offered to the patients (pain management, symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), end-of-life planning, caregiver support, medical equipment and supplies, and more.
- Stay current with the E/M codes, modifiers, HCPCS Level II codes, ICD-10, and CPT codes such as routine home care - 99201 to 99499, continuous home care - 99324 to 99350, general inpatient care 99221 to 99239, etc.
- Adhere to coding and regulatory guidelines while handling diverse billing models for hospice procedures, including Per Diem Billing, Capitated Payment, Fee-for-Service, value-based payment, and more.
- Process clean claims and submit them to the respective insurance providers (Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Administration (VA), Tricare, Long-term Care Insurance, and private insurance companies (Humana, Aetna, Anthem)).
- Engage with payers to obtain EOBs and review them to understand reasons for denials. Resolve discrepancies and initiate appeals to gain maximum reimbursements.
- Inform patients about their out-of-pocket expenses including copayments, deductibles, coinsurance and more.

Trends in Hospice Billing
- Focus on quality measures:
Hospice providers are increasingly being evaluated on quality measures, such as patient satisfaction, pain management, and symptom control. This can impact reimbursement and require more attention to documentation. Thus, we have developed comprehensive quality management systems and processes designed to ensure that our services are of the highest possible quality. - Increased scrutiny of claims:
Hospice claims have become a focus of increased scrutiny by government regulators in recent times. This means that the regulatory bodies are placing more emphasis on verifying the authenticity of the services provided to hospice patients. As a result, healthcare providers and hospice organizations are expected to provide detailed documentation to support the services provided. Invensis is a hospice billing company that delivers hospice medical billing outsourcing services that are accurate and also comply with various regulatory requirements. - Changes in payment models:
Changes in payment models have become a significant trend in healthcare services. The traditional fee-for-service payment model is being replaced by value-based payment models, which focus on the quality and outcomes of care provided rather than the volume of services rendered. We at Invensis have developed innovative hospice medical billing services that enable us to navigate the complexities of value-based payment models.
