Last amended: 2003Year: 2003Length: 94 wordsOfficial source
30.1 - Frequency of Billing for Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) (Rev. 1, 10-01-03) SNF-561 SNFs must bill repetitive Part B services on a single individual monthly bill (or at the conclusion of treatment). This avoids Medicare processing costs in holding such bills for monthly review and reduces bill processing costs for relatively small claims. See the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 1, "General Billing Requirements," §50.2.2, for additional instructions when billing repetitive services and billing repetitive services during an inpatient stay. Other one-time Part B services must be billed upon completion of the services.
