Thanks for your answer. I doubt my biller used the place of service code 34.

I'll check if she used the GW modifier. Maybe it will help as the neck pain had

nothing to do with her hospice diagnosis.

Did you use POS 34 for hospice and a GW modifier? What clearinghouse do you

use? I use ENS and they made a change that got the claims to go thru.
