Q5002: Hospice or Home Health providing care in an assisted living facility. Q5009: Hospice or Home Health providing care in a place not otherwise specified (NOS). MLN/MLNMattersArticles/Downloads/MM8136.pdf

2013 Updated Rules Effecting Billing Point Of Service Billing Requirements New HCPCS codes must be reported on a HH PPS claim containing the HH revenue code that corresponds with the first discipline billed or the claim will be returned to the provider. The line item date of service of the line reporting the Q code must match the first billable visit on the claim or the claim will be returned to the provider. When more than one line on an HH PPS claim reports a Q code then the same HCPCS code must not be reported on that claim or the claim will be returned to the provider. NOTE: Claim lines reporting Q codes are not included in visit counts passed to the HH Pricer, nor are they counted in medical policy parameters that count number of visits.

2013 Updated Rules Effecting Billing Claim Status Category and Claim Status Codes Update Change Request (CR) 8265, requires Medicare Contractors to use only national Code Maintenance Committee-approved Claim Status Category Codes and Claim Status Codes when sending Medicare healthcare status responses (277 transactions) to report the status of your submitted claims. Proprietary codes may not be used in the X12 276/277 to report claim status. All code changes approved during the January 2013 Committee meeting will be posted on or about March 1, 2013, at edi.com/reference/codelists/healthcare/claim-status-category-codes/ and edi.com/reference/codelists/healthcare/claim-status-codes and are to be reflected in the X transactions issued on and after the date of implementation of CR 8265 (July 1, 2013). edi.com/reference/codelists/healthcare/claim-status-category-codes/ edi.com/reference/codelists/healthcare/claim-status-codes
