CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 3, § 190.10.7
Billing for Interrupted Stays
IPFs shall bill for the interrupted stay using Occurrence Span Code 74. The Occurrence
Span Code FROM date equals the day of discharge for the IPF and the THROUGH date is
the last day the patient was not present in the IPF at midnight. For example, the patient
leaves the IPF on 1/1 and returns to the IPF on 1/3. This is considered an interrupted stay
and the Occurrence Span Code 74 will show 1/1 - 1/2. Should the patient return to the IPF
on 1/4, two bills will be allowed. The accommodation Revenue Code 018X (RT 50, field
5), (SV 201), (leave of absence) will continue to be used in the current manner in terms of
Occurrence Span Code 74 (RT 40, field 22 - 27) and date range.
