Your business office should be able to provide you with that report. I think it is
good practice for the MDS coordinator and billing to go over the UB-92s (the bills)
before they are sent. There are many things that affect which days that the RUGS pay
that you might know but the business office might not. Example--the resident was at
the ER over midnight so the day cannot be billed to Medicare A. It makes good
business sense for nursing and billing to talk and make sure that accurate information
is being sent on the Medicare bills.

Subject: RUG payment reports
We fax the RUG rates to our business office. They
submit to Medicare. How do we know if we are
being paid at the RUG category rate that we
submitted? Is there a way that we can obtain a
report?
