Reimbursement for home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is important for nutrition support clinicians to understand. This intent of this review is to provide nutrition support clinicians knowledge on navigating through the structured requirements of diagnosis driven billing to receive reimbursement for services related to HPN, provide information on coding, provide practical tips for surviving a Medicare billing audit, and discuss challenges of Medicare guidelines seen in clinical practice.
