GUIDE TO BILLING CODES FOR DEMENTIA SERVICES
Dementia services and supports play an important role in
helping people who are living with dementia to remain in the community.
Identifying sources of reimbursement for dementia services remains an
ongoing challenge. This guide is intended primarily for organizations that
have medical billing systems in place and want to understand how to bill
for dementia services. It may also be useful for organizations that are
considering developing a medical billing system for services.
Billing third-party payers, such as fee-for-service Medicare
and private insurance, can provide one source of funding. This guide
includes billing codes that select ACL grantees have used successfully to
bill for dementia services. The guide contains links to additional
resources that provide guidance in using these codes as well as resources
to assist in the development of the infrastructure needed to successfully
bill third-party payers.
To introduce the guide, the NADRC will host a free webinar, Sustaining Programs for People Living with Dementia
and their Caregivers: Billing for Dementia Services, on
Thursday, October 22 at 2:00 PM ET. Following an overview of the guide,
Jill Cigliana of Memory Care Home Solutions in St. Louis, Missouri will
provide examples of how her organization utilizes third party billing to
help sustain their work.
