Ill. HFS Handbook for Hospice Agencies, Topic K-260.2
Claim Preparation and Submittal
Refer to Chapter 100 for general policy and procedures regarding claim submittal.
Appendix K-2 contains specific billing instructions for hospice providers.
Hospice claims may be billed for services spanning up to one (1) calendar month.
Claims are to be submitted after third party resources have been billed. As the
Department is the payer of last resort, providers are to bill any known third party first.
If at the end of thirty (30) days from the date of the TPL billing, no response has
been received, or if a response has been received advising of the amount of the TPL
payment, the provider may bill the Department in accordance with instructions in
Appendix K-2. The Department’s TPL status codes are identified in Appendix K-2.
For electronic claims submittal, refer to Topic K-260.3 below. Claims requiring an
attachment may not be electronically submitted.
