Rena,why would my billing office tell me that it is more trouble than it is worth to
bill in this situation.Is there some special way that it is done or do we not do it
because we would have to for all payor classes.The boss in our billing dept always
tell me,what we do for med a we must do for all payor classes.I don't believe we would
bill a private patient who came in and died or transferred the same day.Alot of our
med a patients come late in the day[even at supper time]we take that day not the
hospital.
