Live Donor Follow up and Complication Billing Changes

[Guest guest]

Hi All,We have been asked to review these changes and comment. We have reviewed the change and are interpreting it to be as follows:If there are donor complications, the hospital and physician charges are billed to the recipients primary payer Medicare of Commercial, with no deductibles or coinsurance being billed to the donor.If it is a routine follow up visit, those that I refer to as a "well baby visit", both hospital and physician charges are billed to the transplant center and paid at 100% of Medicare.I will be changing my Power Point for the TFCA meeting this year. I hope to see you all there.Hope this helps,Thanks,Bill
