NGS Continues Look at Glucose Supply Claims

National Government Services, the Jurisdiction B DME MAC, reminded providers last week that it is continuing a prepayment targeted medical review for glucose testing supplies billed with the KS modifier (non-insulin treated beneficiaries). NGS said findings from the review during the first quarter of 2009 show that "a large percentage of claims are being denied for lack of response to documentation requests."
