Skilled Nursing Facilities: Identify & Prevent Improper Part D Payments for Drugs

In a report, the Office of the Inspector General found that Medicare Part D improperly paid for drugs during Part A skilled nursing facility (SNF) stays. Drugs prescribed for a Part D-enrolled patient aren’t covered by Part D if Part A or B can pay for them.

Learn how to avoid improper payments. See the SNF Billing Reference educational tool to find out when to bill your patients' prescription drugs to Part A, instead of their Part D drug plan.
