  • Hospice Billing Services

At A2Z Billings, we provide specialized hospice billing services designed to support hospice agencies across the United States with accurate reimbursement, strict regulatory compliance, and sustainable revenue growth. Hospice billing is one of the most complex areas of medical billing due to Medicare regulations, per diem payment structures, eligibility requirements, and frequent audits. Our experienced billing professionals understand these challenges and deliver solutions that allow hospice providers to focus on compassionate, patient-centered care without financial uncertainty.

Comprehensive Hospice Billing Solutions

Hospice billing requires detailed knowledge of CMS guidelines, payer policies, and hospice-specific workflows. A2Z Billings offers end-to-end hospice revenue cycle management services that cover every stage of the billing process. From patient eligibility verification to final payment posting, our team ensures accuracy, compliance, and transparency throughout the billing lifecycle.

Our comprehensive services reduce claim denials, improve cash flow, and eliminate administrative burdens for hospice organizations of all sizes.

Medicare and Medicaid Hospice Billing Expertise

Medicare is the primary payer for hospice services, and its billing regulations are highly specific and continuously evolving. Our billing specialists have extensive experience managing Medicare and Medicaid hospice claims in compliance with CMS rules, Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs), and Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) requirements.

We ensure proper billing across all hospice benefit periods, accurate use of revenue codes, timely claim submission, and adherence to Medicare hospice eligibility and certification requirements. This expertise helps hospice providers avoid costly errors, penalties, and payment delays.

Accurate Levels of Care Billing

Correct billing for hospice levels of care is essential for compliance and reimbursement accuracy. A2Z Billings ensures that claims align with medical documentation and meet payer requirements for each level of care.

Routine Home Care (RHC)

Routine Home Care is the most commonly billed hospice service and is reimbursed on a per diem basis. We ensure that clinical documentation supports ongoing hospice eligibility and that claims accurately reflect the appropriate daily rate.

Continuous Home Care (CHC)

Continuous Home Care billing is complex and highly scrutinized. Our team carefully reviews hourly documentation, verifies medical necessity, and ensures compliance with CMS requirements to reduce denials and audit risks.

General Inpatient Care (GIP)

General Inpatient Care involves coordination with inpatient facilities and payer-specific billing rules. We manage these claims with precision to ensure accurate reimbursement while maintaining compliance with contractual agreements.

Inpatient Respite Care (IRC)

Inpatient Respite Care is subject to strict time limits and authorization rules. Our billing professionals track eligibility and documentation to ensure proper billing and timely payment.

Notice of Election (NOE) and Timely Filing Management

The Notice of Election (NOE) is a critical component of hospice billing, and late submissions can result in reduced or denied reimbursement. A2Z Billings proactively manages NOE submissions, benefit period tracking, hospice transfers, and revocations to ensure compliance with CMS timelines.

By closely monitoring these requirements, we help hospice providers protect revenue and maintain uninterrupted billing workflows.

Denial Management and Appeals Support

Hospice claims are frequently denied due to medical necessity issues, documentation inconsistencies, or eligibility errors. Our structured denial management process focuses on identifying the root cause of each denial and resolving it efficiently.

We handle appeals preparation, medical record reviews, corrected claim submissions, and payer follow-ups to maximize reimbursement and reduce recurring denials. This proactive approach improves first-pass claim acceptance rates and long-term financial performance.

Compliance, Audit Readiness, and Risk Reduction

Hospice providers face increased scrutiny from CMS, MACs, and federal oversight agencies. Compliance is a core pillar of A2Z Billings’ hospice billing services. Our processes are designed to align with CMS regulations, OIG guidelines, and HIPAA standards.

We conduct internal audits, monitor documentation compliance, support cap calculations, and assist during external audits. This focus on compliance reduces financial risk and protects your hospice organization’s credibility and reputation.

Transparent Reporting and Financial Insights

Trust is built through transparency and data-driven insights. A2Z Billings provides detailed reporting that gives hospice administrators full visibility into their financial performance.

Our reports include accounts receivable aging, denial trends, collections summaries, payer performance analysis, and hospice cap utilization. These insights empower leadership teams to make informed operational and financial decisions.
