Inpatient: Enter the dates of the first and last covered days in the FROM and THROUGH fields of this locator. The FROM and THROUGH dates in FL 6 may not span the State's fiscal year end or the provider's fiscal year end. To file correctly for covered inpatient days that span a fiscal year end: 1. Submit one interim claim (a first claim or a continuing claim, as applicable) on which the THROUGH date is the last day of the fiscal year that has ended. On a first claim or a continuing claim, the patient status code in FL 22 must indicate that the beneficiary is still a patient on the THROUGH date in order for the THROUGH date to be payable. 2. Submit a second interim claim (a continuing claim or a last claim, as applicable) on which the FROM date is the first day of the new fiscal year. When the discharge date is the first day of the provider's fiscal year or the State's fiscal year, only one (admission through discharge) claim is necessary, because Medicaid does not reimburse a hospital for a discharge day unless the discharge day is also the first covered day of the inpatient stay. When an inpatient is discharged on the same date he or she is admitted, the day is covered when the type of bill code indicates that the claim is for admission through discharge, the patient status code indicates discharge or transfer and the FROM and THROUGH dates are the same. |
