Hospice Ventilator and Ventilator Weaning (Revenue Codes 0410/419)

Billing for Hospice Vent/Vent Weaning will only be accepted on a Uniform Billing (UB) form. Claims submitted on a CMS 1500 form will be denied for incorrect billing. Nursing facility hospice (T2046) and vent/vent weaning services are not billable on the same date of service. 

The below guidance should be followed for Hospice Vent/Vent-Weaning billing. If not specifically noted below, all other fields should be billed according to the Uniform Billing Editor facility claim submission billing requirements.

  • UB-04 Box 80 – The name and NPI of the nursing facility (NF) where the hospice room and board services are being performed must be included. If the required information is left blank, the claim will be denied for incorrect billing. Buckeye Health Plan will validate the service location and if it is not a certified facility, the claim will be denied for incorrect billing.
  • Type of Bill – 81X/081X: If the claim is billed with the incorrect Type of Bill, the claim will deny as incorrect billing.
  • HCPCS Code: This field should be left blank. If information is present the claim will deny as incorrect billing. Facilities should not bill Hospice Room and Board code T2046 or any other HCPCS Code.
  • When billing for Ventilator and/or Ventilator Weaning services, the diagnosis code Z99.11 must be included.

InterQual criteria are available for your review upon request.

As a new requirement to ensure clinical consistency and coverage of Medicaid services across the full American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) continuum, Buckeye must use The ASAM Criteria® in determining coverage for inpatient hospital services when the hospital provides the clinical documentation to support the review using ASAM Criteria®. Buckeye will continue to use Interqual clinical guidelines for determining inpatient hospital level of care that take into consideration all symptoms and clinical issues (SUD, psychiatric, and other medical conditions); however, for individuals with SUD conditions, Buckeye will also consider ASAM Criteria® prior to denying inpatient hospital services. When a hospital does not provide documentation to support the review using the ASAM Criteria® and the individual does not meet inpatient level of care using Interqual clinical guidelines, Buckeye will request additional documentation ASAM Criteria® for further consideration.  Inpatient hospital services must be authorized if either of the following apply:

  1. The request for admission or continued stay meets inpatient level of care criteria using Interqual clinical guidelines for hospital services, or:
  2. The request for admission or continued stay meets ASAM level 4.0 or 3.7 criteria.

  • You identify a situation in which the plan deducted no PL from a claim, but you have documentation that the member does have a PL amount.

Complete the fillable PDF form located below.

Note:

  • You must submit documentation of the correct PL amount (for example, a MITS screen shot).
  • You may need to resubmit the form for future claims involving the situations listed above if PL still is deducted incorrectly.  You do not need to resubmit the supporting documentation if you submitted it once and it has not changed.
  • Please check the appropriate column on the form if you are resubmitting PL information for a Buckeye Health Plan MyCare member.
