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.
However, exceptions may occur when an organization has a concurrent-coding program or for long-stay patients, during which interim billing and, therefore, interim coding may occur. Those accounts that are not yet billed at the time of discharge are listed on the DNFB list.
