Non-payment of facility charge for PBC

in REIMBURSEMENT & PAYMENT METHODOLOGIES

Quick question, as more insurances are not reimbursing for the facility charge separately on the UB-04, when the service is provided in a provider-based clinic, what are other organization's doing to compensate for that reduction in revenue for these services. Our latest notification, from Summacare, states that effective 6/1/24, they too will not separately reimburse for a clinic or facility fee associated with space to provide and E & M service on a UB-04. Just wondering how other organizations are addressing this. Thank you in advance for your feedback.

    If the physicians are employed, you can bill their pro fee with POS 11 and get the higher payment.


    and of course address this in contracting.

    We attempt to get revenue neutrality clauses in contracts, so that when policy changes impact the expected value of a contract, we can pursue an increase in the still billable portion of the visit.

    Employed physicians can bill the E & M service as a global charge on a 1500 claim. For non-employed physicians, outlining the billing of E & M services would be recommended as part of the contract/agreements.
