SNF billers are advised to review a recent Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) MLN Matters article MM10852 titled “Quarterly Update to 2018 Annual of HCPCS Codes Used for Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Consolidated Billing Used for Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Consolidated Billing (CB) Enforcement.”   This article describes updates to the lists of Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes that are subject to the Consolidated Billing (CB) provision of the SNF Prospective Payment System (PPS). Changes these changes allow Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) to make appropriate payments in accordance with policy for SNF CB in the “Medicare Claims Processing Manual”, Chapter 6, Section 20.6. 

Included in the updated code list are the following codes that should not have been subject to consolidated billing rules beginning as far back as January 1, 2016:

• Codes that should have been added effective January 1, 2016 - 77770, 77771, 77772
• Codes that should have been added effective January 1, 2017 - G0491, G0500, J9034, J9301, Q0083, Q0084, Q0085, 36598, 77385, 77386, 77770, 77771, 77772, 79005, 79101, 79445, 96446, 99151, 99152, 99155, 99156, and 99157
• Codes that should have been added effective January 1, 2018 - 00731, 00732, 00811, 00812, 00813, and 77772
