Axxess Hospice now enables organizations to set a per-visit rate for tasks performed under General Inpatient Care (GIP) when services are provided at an inpatient hospice facility (billing code Q5006) for the default Medicare payer. Once the rate is established, Axxess Hospice will automatically identify and group qualifying tasks for reporting by revenue code.
By ensuring that organizations can track, manage and bill for applicable tasks performed under GIP, this enhancement streamlines operations and facilitates accurate claim formation per CMS guidelines.
To add a per-visit rate, navigate to the plus menu (
) and select Insurance/Payer from the drop-down. On the Insurance/Payer screen, navigate to the Fee Schedule tab and select Add Visit Rate.
➜ Insurance/Payer ➜ Fee Schedule ➜ Add Visit Rate
In the GIP Q5006/Visit Charge field, enter a per-visit amount if the task is used for services provided in an inpatient hospice facility under the GIP level of care. Note: If this field is left blank and the task is performed under the inpatient hospice facility or GIP, the charge for the task will default to the Per 15 Min charge for each visit unit.
When the claim is generated, the tasks will be grouped by revenue code, week and will be displayed with the per visit unit and total charges. If multiple tasks are performed under the same revenue code with differing task descriptions, the solution will use the description of the first task of the week.
