The financial strength of your drug and alcohol addiction treatment practice is directly correlated to timely billing and account reimbursement.
Inpatient and outpatient drug and alcohol billing is entirely different than most medical billing. If the clinic is credentialed as a facility insurance claims must be submitted on UB04 claim forms rather than the more common CMS 1500 forms.
Many drug and alcohol facilities do not participate with insurance companies because the billing is so different than most billers are accustomed to. As with most of the specialities, most clients would prefer go to a participating provider over a non-participating provider.
The problem with billing on the wrong form is that many insurance carriers will deny a claim if it is not billed correctly. If you participate with an insurance company as a drug and alcohol facility and bill on a CMS 1500 form your claims will most likely be denied.
If the clinic is listed under the provider and not a facility, you must bill on a CMS 1500 when doing drug and alcohol rehab billing.The best way to know which form you should be billing on is to call each individual insurance company you participate with and ask if you are listed as a facility or a professional provider.
