Guest guest Posted February 22, 2001 Report Share Posted February 22, 2001 Here's another question. I hope you can share your thoughts. A patient has an individual plan and chooses not to apply for Mcare or possibly because the dialysis has not yet started that's why he can not apply for Mcare. The patient received the transplant and applied for Mcare during the admission for the transplant. We all know that it takes between 60-90days before the Mcare benefit starts but when it is awarded to the patient, the benefit starts on the month of the transplant. How do you bill this? Do you bill the individual plan first then get it corrected when the Mcare starts? The commercial insurance needs to be billed within 90 days to get reimbursement. What does your institution do? Thanks . rea UTMB Galveston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
