Understanding Palliative Care Billing- A 
Comprehensive Guide
Did you know? Over six million patients and carers have 
benefited from palliative services in community-based and 
hospital settings to date. Simultaneously, remarkable claims of 
cost savings and decreased resource utilization from large 
palliative care programs have solidified its position as a high-
value, low-cost, patient-centered method to care for those with 
serious disease nearing the end of life.
Not only this, but palliative care physicians will be expected to 
stay on top of things, ensuring that services are properly billed, 
coded, and reimbursed. This necessitates the palliative care 
physicians to be knowledgeable about the concerns and 
obstacles of specialty-specific billing and coding. This 
improvement in understanding begins with recognizing 
frequent two errors in palliative care coding and applying 
realistic and targeted solutions which are as follows:

Confusing ICD and CPT Codes
Many practitioners are perplexed by ICD-9/ICD-10 codes and 
CPT codes, which can lead to ineffective conversations with 
insurers. CPT codes show what clinicians did (the service), 
whereas ICD codes explain why (often referred to as medical 
necessity).
Both sets of ICD codes (ICD-9/ICD-10 codes) enable billers and 
coders to convert qualitative information found in palliative 
care notes into numbers that can be transmitted to payers for 
service compensation. Billers then associate one or more ICD 
codes with a numerical procedure code (CPT) that informs the 
insurer about the clinician’s treatment of their patient.
To provide the whole picture, this combines the “what we did” 
service information from CPT codes with the “for what 
condition” information from ICD codes. Keep in mind that D in 
ICD stands for disease and P in CPT® stands for procedure.
