POA in Medical Billing
POA stands for Present on Admission, which indicates whether a medical condition was present at the time of the patient’s hospital admission.
POA in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, the POA indicator helps insurers determine if a condition was acquired during the hospital stay or was already present when the patient was admitted. This information impacts billing and reimbursement, especially for hospital-acquired conditions.
For example, a patient admitted with pneumonia would have a POA indicator on their claim to show the condition was present on admission.
