Has anyone had any experience with BCBS PDGM payment regarding less than 4 visits?

 

Had a 30 day episode that had 2 visits. In billing software it says LUPA is 2 visits. According to billing software support if LUPA says 2 and we do 2 then should be paid full episode.

 

We have been paid what appears to be LUPA rate for the 2 visits provided.

 

Did on line dispute and payment was upheld.

 

Any suggestions/similar experience?

 

Thanks

 

Karen

Hey all,

 

Thank for your swift responses with info on your interaction with Humana.  Please remember that we are not to share specific contract details (such as rates) when discussing payers; this could lead to issues with antitrust rules which we of course all want to avoid!

 

Thanks for your understanding,
