No Pay claims-How would you start this process?? A good place to START would be in review of your current month’s census, during part A billing. Look for resident’s that were cut from skilled care and remained in your facility. PCC should generate these claims for you correctly. If you need to play catch-up, you are permitted to lump multiple months/years into one claim and submit to Medicare for processing. Copyright © 2015 HW&Co. All Rights Reserved. 6
