Billing for CLIA waived Labs


Hello all,

How many of your agencies are billing for administration of CLIA Waived Labs? This reimbursement is separate from your episodic payments. It's for documentation and communication of results-not physically drawing the sample. Would love feedback.

Dear homehealthguru,
I can not find any info on billing for CLIA waived Labs.
Do we need to have part B Medicare provider #? Any info would help! Thanks!

This is one of the those regs that is buried deep into the manuals. Check out the Home Health Online Billing Manual Ch. 10 Sect. 90 D. Classifies HH as a "provider" of lab services, and thus can bill for these services. A Part B # is required, but this is a slightly different process than you would normally go through. If you message me personally, I will give you some more details on the process.

Thanks!
I'd be happy to send you a personal message, but can not find a way to do it. I just registered yesterday and perhaps don't have access to this feature yet..
can I give you my personal email?
