Guest guest Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Group, I am getting some conflicting info regarding the frequency of billing Medicare. I am an ORF, we do PT and speech therapy. Am I required to bill Medicare at the end of the month or can I bill Medicare daily for PT services? Thanks in advance, Hankins, PT President Synergy Therapies, LLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between an ORF and a PTIPP (outpatient rehab facility and physical therapist in private practice) is that an ORF bills on a UB04 and the other on a HCFA (or an ANSI 837I-Instititutional vs and 837P-Professional electronic claim). Historically if you billed on the UB04, the Intermediaries wanted you to bill a month of service as a self contained claim. However, times have changed and MAC's do permit daily billing. If you would like to discuss this further, feel free to call me. > > Jim <///>< > X 110 > > > > > > Medicare billing question > > > > > Group, > > I am getting some conflicting info regarding the frequency of billing Medicare. > I am an ORF, we do PT and speech therapy.
