Does the client meet Medicare homebound requirements? If not, you would need a signed ABN and use that date and occurrence code on your claim. Your occurrence code date will be the effective date, so anything from before that date will be denied for the same reason you already received denial.

Ok, so I have a client that we billed Medicaid since they were for med management, nothing Medicare qualifies for skilled nursing services. So I didn't think we could bill Medicare. However it was denied for other insurance. 

DHS says I need to submit a claim to Medicare first and once it is rejected to resubmit with them, so I am doing this to have it rejected. 

Once it is rejected, how do I let DHS know it was rejected? Is this a modifier?
