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.” Find a more in-depth article on the
issue on the NGS Web
site under Education and Support – Tools and Materials –
