Acute Care Hospitals Can Now Bill Lower Level of Care Beds

NCTracks has been updated to enable Acute Care Hospitals to bill Lower Level of Care (LLOC) beds for Medicaid recipients in their facilities who are awaiting placement into a nursing home. This change is effective with date of processing April 21. Providers can bill claims with prior dates of service, within the timely filing guidelines. See the clinical coverage policy on the NC Division of Medical Assistance (DMA) website for more information on billing for lower level of care. (See link below)
