SNFers and the Challenges They Present

Transport of Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) patients can be challenging for many reasons.  SNF patients typically have a host of medical problems that are sometimes challenging to manage in the field.  Once the field work is complete, comes the task of properly billing these patients to ensure that is done compliantly and according to all pertinent Medicare rules and regs.  This edition of The QMC Board & Collar examines pitfalls that can occur as it relates to billing these patients and hopefully, brings some clarity to this matter as well.   Written by:  C.
