Policy: BlueCross Blue Shield of Rhode Island covers interim billing for payment of services provided by an acute rehabilitation/skilled nursing facility, hospice or home health agency. Interim billing is covered for acute care hospitals only if the hospital is covered at a per diem rate.
Since Home Health PPS is effective 10/1/2000, all services provided to patients on or after this date must follow the new billing requirements. Interim payments will be made for services through 9/30/2000. Train staff on the development of the OASIS assessment, including the determination of projected therapy hours.
