Inpatient Ancillary Services

Medicare pays for hospital (including Critical Access Hospital (CAH)) inpatient Part B services in the circumstances specified in the CMS Internet Only Manual (IOM), Publication 100-02, Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 6, Section 10. Whether or not the hospital has submitted a claim to Part A for payment, the hospital is required to submit a Part A claim indicating that the provider is liable under section 1879 of the Act for the cost of the Part A services.

The hospital must then bill Part B inpatient services on a 012X Type of Bill (TOB). Inpatient Part B services include inpatient ancillary services that do not require an outpatient status and are not strictly provided in an outpatient setting. Services that require an outpatient status and are provided only in an outpatient setting are not payable inpatient Part B services. For example: Clinic Visits, Emergency Department Visits and Observation Services (this is not an all-inclusive list).
