Coding for HIV/AIDS Patient
Coding for HIV/AIDS Patient
When billing Medicare A it is important to make sure you are checking your diagnosis when you have an HIV/AIDS patient. That diagnosis needs to be present on the claim in the first 9 diagnosis or you could miss that extra reimbursement. For example, a resident with HIPPS KAXD would be paid roughly $4500 for 9 days. With the AIDS NTA bump and Nursing addon, the reimbursement increases to $6,426.18.
