Share with your billing staff: CMS published an MLN Matters brief to help skilled nursing facilities use the correct place of service (POS) codes for physician services on Medicare claim lines.

Learn to use the correct place of service (POS) codes:

• Use POS 31 for services provided during a patient’s Medicare Part A stay
• Use POS 32 for services provided in nursing facilities and for those provided in skilled nursing facilities when patients have exhausted their Part A coverage
