When the guidance from CMS was released last year on billing for Provider-Based Departments, we were staggered by the complexity and the amount of research that it will take to determine the history of these departments. The PCG staff has diligently reviewed the material and we have internally developed this white paper and job aids to assist you in this complex adjudication process.
We tried to keep this document short but of course, it is CMS, and so the material is daunting. As always, we appreciate your feedback and any information that you would like to share to improve the document.
