Colorado Medicaid Home Health (HH), UB-04 Hardcopy

Colorado Home Health is a standard fee-for-service claim. Each type of service provided by a specific discipline is listed individually on the claim. For Type of Bill (Field Locator 4), Colorado Medicaid allows the third digit for Type of Bill to be 1 - 4 only for home health claims.

Detail Charge Line Section (Field Locators 42-49): Use the Tiered Rates Function under Billing Rates to enter new rates for Home Health Aide Visits (acute and long-term visits are services that requires multiple charge lines to be reported for one visit). Choose an effective date, such as the first of the month, to start using these new rates (see more information below on recalculating claims).

1.	Go to Billing Rates in Administration>Financial>Billing Rates>Rates tab.

2.	Enter a new rate for the Home Health Aide Visit (Revenue Code 570).

3.	Select the check box in the T.R. column to indicate that the Tiered Rates Detail information should be used for this Insurance Code Service. Once selected, the Tiered Rates grid appears.

4.	In the first row of the grid, enter the information for Home Health Aide Basic Unit. Leave the From column blank, but in the Thru column, enter 1 hour. Enter the gross/net rate dollar amounts and set the basis for each to 'V'. Enter '570' for the revenue code.

5.	Add a second row for the Home Health Aide Extended Unit. As before, enter the gross/net rate dollar amounts but set the basis for each to 'K'. Rate 'K' will calculate the units in 30-minute increments, no unit minimum and units are rounded to the nearest half hour.

6.	In the From column, enter 1h 1m. Leave the Thru column blank.

7.	When you select the OK button, the application will return you to the Bill Rates screen. If you wish to edit the Tiered Rates, click on the T button in the last column of the grid.

On the claim form, this service will be reported as two separate charge lines. If more than one home health aide visit occurs in one day, the application will group the services accordingly and print only two charge lines for the given date of service.

Recalculating Claims: Most likely, you will need to recalculate claims for services already entered in the current claim cycle. For example, assume the current date is February 10, 2005 and you have already entered all services from February 1 - 9. If the effective date for the new rates is set at February 1, 2005 you will need to recalculate the claims for the February Services already entered.

1.	Go to Administration>Maintenance>Recalculate Claims.

2.	Select the appropriate Pay Source/Patients, but DO NOT select the check box for 'Generate Void/Replacements for Closed Claims' (doing so will generate many Void/Replacement claims).

3.	Select a Start Date that is the same as the effective date for the new Bill Rates that you have entered.

4.

Click OK.

This function will recalculate your current working claims for the selected pay source and patient.
