However, there is one exception. Partial period payment adjustments will not apply to the claim, because no more home care can be delivered in the 30-day period. The Statement Covers Period “through” date on the claim in which the beneficiary died should be the date of death. Such claims may be submitted earlier than the 30th day of the period of care.
