Medicare Claims Processing Manual (Pub. 100-04), Ch. 5 § 40.5
Line Item Date of Service Reporting
40.5 - Line Item Date of Service Reporting
(Rev. 2044, Issued: 09-03-10, Effective: 09-30-10, Implementation: 09-30-10)
Providers are required to report line item dates of service per revenue code line for
outpatient rehabilitation services. CORFs are also required to report their full range of
CORF services by line item date of service. This means each service (revenue code)
provided must be repeated on a separate line item along with the specific date the service
was provided for every occurrence.
Contractors will return claims that span two or more dates if a line item date of service is
not entered for each HCPCS reported. Line item date of service reporting became
effective for claims with dates of service on or after October 1, 1998.
Services that do not require line item date of service reporting may be reported before or
after those services that require line item reporting.
