new medicare home certification guidelines

The new 2011 requirements for homecare certification include a face to face visit with specific history and exam documentation to justify the homehealth cert. Can I bill the face to face visit separately or is it bundled in the certification code?

sort of...

you are required to fill out a form certifying that you had a face to face visit with the patient- so if you see the patient in the hospital or office for their CVA, you bill the E&M and fill out the form. This is totally different than the Plan of Care billing, G0180, which is billed when you sign the plan of care without a visit.
