Medicare Disclosure Provider- or Hospital-based Information
Medicaid or Medicare patients only
“Provider-Based” or “Hospital-Based Outpatient”
refers to the billing process for services rendered in a hospital outpatient
clinic or location. This is the national model of practice for large,
integrated delivery systems involved in patient care.
Provider-Based billing offers Livingston HealthCare the ability to accurately
capture facility and professional revenue where we have multiple types
of services in many different providers.
Livingston HealthCare has three (3) “Provider-Based” locations
where there may be two (2) charges for each service provided- a facility
and a professional charge. Patient statements will have both charges listed.
Each health insurance may process these differently and some patient’s
plan will assess higher patient responsibility than one of our other sites.
Livingston HealthCare is not unique in this regard as this is the case
in many integrated health care delivery systems across the country.
