My boss is telling me that we can bill for supplies, the only one I do is Medicare but she is saying that we can bill for supplies to any insurance. I just have never heard of this but she insists we can. Do you know where I could find more information on this?

We do not bill supplies to insurance.  We do, however, report supplies on the Medicare claim even though Medicare does not pay for the supplies.

Does anyone bill for supplies to insurance for a home care patient? If so, do all insurances pay for them.
