They should pay

primary once Medicare exhausts… usually you need to call to precert

though… depends on who the payer is.

When Medicare in-patient days are exhausted

the facility can split the billing into in-patient and out-patient charges. Any

charges that would ordinarily be billed to Medicare Part B can be billed as

out-patient services and will be paid by the Part B plan. Your Patient Accounts

department should be handling this.

We will try to get Medicaid witha spend down for the patient: We are asking the patient to collect bills($1,024 Medicare Part B deductible for example) and take them to her Medicaidcase worker hoping she'll qualify for a spend down. According to Medicare, " a Medicare beneficiary is entitled to an unlimitednumber of benefit periods, each of which includes 90 days of covered inpatienthospital services. A benefit period, or " spell of illness, " begins on the first day the beneficiary is furnished inpatient hospitalservices, inpatient critical access hospital services or long term careservices. The benefit period ends with the close of the first period of60 consecutive days thereafter on each of which he/she is neither an inpatientof a hospital or a critical access hospital nor an inpatient of a skillednursing facility. " So we'll wait until the 60 days are completed....Thanks to all for your input.
