RE: Need help from Florida TFC's!!! (BCBS FL donor billing)

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

What living donor charges? Is

it the revenue code 811 or 812 or is the Hospital billing the inpatient

stay for the live donor to BCBS FL along with a bill for the recipient? If

there is a separate bill, then they are absolutely correct, that bill should be

written off and logged for Cost Reporting purposes. If it is for Revenue

Code 811 or 812, they are incorrect. There are billing instructions that

require you to put that Standard Acquisition Charge on the recipients bill.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

Bill

I am wondering how BCBS FL is

processing your living donor charges for the transplant episode?

They have started denying our living donor charges, saying that we need to bill

the donor's insurance first. Now they want to go back and ask for refunds

on all previous donors that they paid the transplant episode on.

Any of you experiencing this?
