Transportation is a vital service that many Adult Day Care (ADC) centers provide to their clients. However, maximizing reimbursement for transportation can be challenging. In this post, we’ll explore the coding and documentation requirements for transportation services and provide tips for ensuring accurate and complete billing.
- Coding for Transportation: The specific codes used for transportation services will vary depending on the payer and the type of transportation provided. It’s essential to select the correct code based on the level of service provided and the client’s needs.
- Documentation Requirements: Accurate documentation is crucial for supporting transportation claims. Ensure your documentation includes the client’s name, date of service, pick-up and drop-off locations, mileage, and the medical necessity for transportation. If the client is wheelchair bound, or needs assistance, document that as well. Detailed records will help you avoid claim denials and ensure proper reimbursement.
- Tips for Accurate Billing: To maximize reimbursement for transportation services, implement the following tips:
- Use accurate mileage tracking tools,
- Verify payer-specific requirements, and
- Train your staff on proper coding and documentation.
