SNF Billing Guidelines

Practical Medicare Part B billing guidelines for skilled nursing facilities. Use this as a working reference for documentation, code selection, and audit readiness.

Last updated May 2026

Documentation essentials

Every Part B supply claim should be backed by: a physician order, a signed certification of medical necessity (when LCD-required), proof of delivery, and a clinical note linking the supply to the diagnosis being treated.

Common code categories

A-codes for ostomy and urological supplies, A-codes for surgical dressings, B-codes for enteral nutrition, J-codes for select drugs and immunosuppressives, E-codes for DME items dispensed under Part B.

Avoidable mistakes

Billing during a Part A stay, billing without a current physician order, billing the wrong unit count, and billing without an LCD-compliant diagnosis.
