CMS Clarifies Bid Claims Info

BALTIMORE — CMS has added an important clarification to a
message first sent Jan. 3 alerting grandfathered suppliers of a
possible
problem on claims submitted under competitive bidding.

The agency has figured out a temporary fix with payments on a
fee schedule basis instead of the single payment amounts. But “in
order to mitigate the need to adjust claims in the future,” the
clarification said, “suppliers should submit the applicable single
payment amount for the accessory or supply as their submitted
charge on the claim.”

Read the message in full, including the clarification,
on the Jurisdiction C website.
