CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 20, § 110.4
Frequency of Claims for Repetitive Services (All Providers and
Suppliers)
(Rev. 1, 10-01-03)
HHAs include DMEPOS on bill types 32x or33x with home health visits bill at the
freqency required for the home health. See Chapter 10 for home health billing
requirements.
Other providers and suppliers, including home health agencies billing the A/B MAC
(HHH) on bill type 34x, submit claims on a monthly basis unless another policy that
allows billing at a different frequency applies. For example suppliers may bill for more
than one month's diabetic test strips.
Claims are submitted in sequence where there are cases of known continuous periods of
service over an extended period (e.g., capped rental equipment or therapies). When there
is a break in service (e.g. interruption of capped rental as the result of an extensive
inpatient stay), suppliers should continue sequential billing when the services resume.
The purpose of these requirements is to avoid CMS operational expenditures, and at the
same time simplify the review process
