Medicare Part B only

[Guest guest]

From my

understanding a patient has to have a Part B for charges to go on the cost

report. I guess I might be confused. I didn’t think we could put any Part

A services on the cost report?

Medicare Part B only

I'm

wondering if anyone knows who covers transplant evaluation if pt carries

Medicare Part B but does not have Medicare Part A. The pt has Part B because

the state is paying the premiums for it but will not pay the premiums for Part

A as the patient does not have work credit history for premium free. It's my

understanding that Part A is required to be put on the cost report, so in this

scenario I don't believe it can go on the cost report. However, I wouldn't

think that Part B would cover the work up either due to no diagnosis or other

reasons.

Does

anyone know??

Thanks,

To consider service a Medicare organ (for

cost report), it’s Part A that’s needed. All pre-transplant evaluation

services are also under Part A care – that’s why claims are billed directly to

Medicare becz you can’t receive a Part A payment directly on an outpatient

claim hence it all accumulates for the cost report. I don’t have the exact

regulation handy but it’s very clearly indicated somewhere and I recall it well

becz I read and read and read it several years ago in trying to understand how

costs were identified.
