The worst thing a care provider can do when they suspect victimization, Gibbs says, is ignore the patient’s needs and concerns. “This is why we developed the PEARR Tool,” she says. “It offers step-by-step guidance for healthcare professionals to offer assistance to victims/survivors of violence. And it offers example statements to help get the conversation started. The best approach someone can take is one that prioritizes the potential victim’s wishes, safety, and well-being.”
I am new to the substance abuse field and have a few things I wanted to run by anyone who is willing to help. I switched over from cardiology, integ, and podiatry and am now billing for a detox facility, residential and php facility. I was curious if you could help me with two things.
First where can i find the type of bill code for box 4 required for bc claims? I have been searching all over their website and can’t find anything. I read one thread that said to use 11X but i’m not sure if that’s correct or if it would be 86X since we are not a hospital?
The other question I have is the previous billing company was billing intake assessments with the code H0001 and H0002 and they are all denied from all the insurance companies or reimbursing at a really low rate. Would I be able to use an e/m code such as 99408 or 99409? or is there a better code for an initial assessment and also a discharge assesment?
I would really appreciate the help.
Thank you
