Well, it could. If a Medicare patient elects a Medicare Advantage plan participating in the Hospice VBID Pilot Program and moves outside the VBID geographical area, the plan must still be billed for hospice services.

We understand the apprehensions that come with using an outsourced billing company. There are a lot of common myths circulating that prevent many businesses from taking this step. However, working with a third-party billing company can prove to be beneficial and effective for many businesses.

2021 was an interesting year for many hospices as they navigated the intricacies of billing hospice care to Medicare Managed care plans as part of the VBID pilot. Mastering the maze of participating plans, NOE requirements, claim submissions, all while continuing to bill Medicare, was challenging, and Advanced Hospice Management was with our clients every step of the way.  It took the better part of 2021 for many hospices to develop successful NOE and billing processes for those plans that initially didn’t have a clear set of instructions for us.
