Patient status code inquiry

Are you questioning the patient’s status related to the ‘through’ date of the billing period, source of admission code, or discharge status?
You can find the appropriate patient status codes listed in the article "Clarification of Patient Discharge Status Codes and Hospital Transfer Policies" on page 32 of the February 2008 Medicare A Bulletin pdf file. Updated code information can also be found on the National Uniform Billing Committee's (NUBC) website (www.nubc.org external link) in the Official UB-04 Data Specifications Manual.
