Location in box 32
Hello,
I work as a biller in a radiology office that does mostly interpretations for a large hospital system (PC only).
We have been getting weird denials lately due to the address we use in CMS 1500 box 32. My practice admin said that for box 32, we should be using the hospital's address and the hospital's NPI in box 32a with our info in box 33. Our practice is not owned by the hospital and is completely separate.
When I look online I'm seeing conflicting info on whether that is correct. Some sources are saying that it should be the radiologist's location when reading the exam. Our radiologists don't read from the hospital most times.
I'm still pretty new to all of this, is there any guidelines from CMS that I could reference and if so, how could I find it? Most of the sources I'm finding are from independent billing sites and are pretty dated.
