Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Billing
Streamline your Practice’s Billing with Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Billing
The complexities of Medicare billing, SNF billing become extremely technical and crucial, and it must be managed with a thorough understanding of both the skilled nursing facility (SNF) consolidated billing process and SNF billing guidelines. The proper implementation of skilled nursing facility billing procedures will ensure that claims for all services provided to residents under Medicare Part A, such as therapies, drugs, and durable medical equipment, are submitted.
Billing for skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) can be complex due to the integration of multiple services and regulations. SNFs bill for practically all services provided during a covered stay, unless exemptions apply; thus, correct claim submission is critical to minimize reimbursement concerns. Mistakes in medical coding can interrupt the revenue cycle and result in delays or denials.
To assure adequate reimbursement, specialist therapies such as rehabilitation, wound care, and hospice require accurate coding. With so many variables affecting invoicing, facilities can easily become overwhelmed. Our professionals specialize in SNF billing, ensuring that claims are compliant with requirements and optimized for faster acceptance.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is excluded from SNF consolidated billing?
Excluded services from SNF consolidated billing include certain items like physician services, ambulance transportation, outpatient therapy, and some laboratory tests. Additionally, services provided by a non-SNF entity, such as specialized treatments or diagnostic services not covered under the SNF stay, are also excluded. Understanding these exclusions helps ensure accurate billing and reimbursement.
2. What is the difference between a SNF and a nursing facility?
A skilled nursing facility (SNF) provides a higher level of medical care and rehabilitation services, typically for patients recovering from surgery or illness, and is Medicare-certified. In contrast, a nursing facility can refer to a broader range of long-term care settings, including assisted living and residential care homes, which may not provide skilled medical services. Essentially, all SNFs are nursing facilities, but not all nursing facilities are SNFs.
