Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 We are billing to insurance as most plans consider this “medical” and not “transplant” Debbie Mast Supervisor, Senior Transplant Financial Coordinator Member, TFCA Heart Failure, Heart, Lung, Heart/Lung, Liver, Kidney, Pancreas, Intestinal Transplant Programs Phone: Fax: From: TxFinancialCoordinators [mailto:TxFinancialCoordinators ] On Behalf Of Craycraft Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 7:44 AM To: TxFinancialCoordinators Subject: IVIG I know this has been addressed before, I just can't seem to locate that discussion!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 IVIG is considered treatment therefore it should never be billed to the cost report. In this case the patients insurance needs to be billed. Celenia Mane Transplant Operations Analyst IVIG I know this has been addressed before, I just can't seem to locate that discussion!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Hi , IVIG is a treatment and treatment costs are not allowable costs on the Cost Report. The PRA’s that are needed as a result of the treatment are allowable. Hope this helps, Thanks, Bill From: TxFinancialCoordinators [mailto:TxFinancialCoordinators ] On Behalf Of Craycraft Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 10:44 AM To: TxFinancialCoordinators Subject: IVIG I know this has been addressed before, I just can't seem to locate that discussion!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Are you using the IVIG for PRA reduction before transplant for LRD? If so, can someone please share the Diagnoses code used please.
