Billing Increments
When submitting claims for continuous care services, hospice providers are required to indicate services in hour or half-hour
increments, rounded to the nearest half-hour. Hospices are reminded that continuous care is billed for eight or more hours of care
per day. The following chart illustrates the rules of rounding.
When submitting claims for routine care, general inpatient care, inpatient respite care, and room and board, the service must be
indicated as a quantity of "1" per DOS (date of service).
