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.
