Home Health billing has specific differences from other types of services.  There are physician certification requirements for ordering home health services.

The PDGM (Patient Driven Groupings Model)  concept was developed effective in 2020 & this arrangement drives the correct reporting & reimbursement.  HIPPS codes provide assessment of the patient’s ability to conduct certain activities (functional status) and the presence of any type of cognitive impairment to determine a payment group. HIPPS codes are required on all claims using revenue code 0023 on the UB 04.

We will review required documentation, completing the UB 04, & potential reimbursement changes for 2026
