Hospice Billing in South Dakota

Per-diem levels of care rather than per-service billing, with the level driven by documented patient need each day.

Remote medical billing — monthly close, cleanup, and books ready for your practice.

Election of the hospice benefit revokes standard coverage for the terminal condition, so anything billed outside it is scrutinised. In South Dakota that plays out against a specific set of rules rather than a general one.

Claims for South Dakota providers are adjudicated by Noridian Healthcare Solutions (JF), which is also who hears the first level of appeal — so an appeal argument that works here works in every state that contractor covers.

What changes in South Dakota

Medicaid in South Dakota runs as South Dakota Medicaid, and South Dakota operates limited comprehensive managed care — so claims are largely billed to the state directly rather than to a plan, which is now the less common arrangement nationally.

Where hospice claims fail

  • Level of care not supported by the daily record
  • Services billed outside the hospice benefit
  • Face-to-face recertification encounter missing
