I am a physician with a VNS Health Medicare patient in hospice care. Whom do I bill for my services?

If you are a physician who ordinarily provides primary or specialty care services to a patient who is now in hospice, you should bill us directly. You do not need to bill both CMS and VNS Health Medicare unless you are specifically a hospice provider or facility.

I am a hospice provider. How are notices and claims submitted for beneficiaries in participating plans?

Claims must be submitted to both VNS Health Medicare and to CMS. Please note: In addition to your usual Notice of Election (NOE) and Notice of Termination/Revocation (NOTR) submission to CMS, all providers are also required to submit the NOE to us within 5 days of hospice election and the NOTR within 5 days of hospice termination. Please submit all hospice NOE and NOTR materials to VNSNYHospiceNotices@vnsny.org. Or you can mail your NOE to: VNS Health Health Plans ‒ Membership Eligibility Unit 220 East 42nd Street New York, NY 10017

Where are these services offered?

These services are offered in Bronx, Kings, Nassau, New York, Queens, Richmond, Suffolk, and Westchester counties.
