Medicare Billing: CMS-1500 & 837P

Lesson 5 Summary

  • Use Loop 2300 HI / item 10d exclusively for Medicaid information
  • When reporting NOC codes, enter the drug’s name and dosage
  • Electronic billers can submit required documentation using the PWK segment in the 837P to indicate claim-related documentation is coming
  • Enter the patient’s diagnosis or condition using ICD-10-CM codes
  • Use HCPCS Level I and II codes to code procedures on all claims
  • Level I CPT codes describe medical procedures and professional services
  • Level II HCPCS is a standardized coding system for naming products, supplies, and services not included in Level I CPT codes
  • Medicare limits the charges non-participating providers can bill for certain services like diagnostic tests and outpatient therapies, but these limits don’t apply to DMEPOS claims
