• No matter where you are in the country, you'll have to be an accredited durable medicalequipment supplier if you want to furnish support surfaces. CMS removed "Miami only" as a limit for claims edits that will check supplier accreditation status for claims containing certain support surfaces. CMS removed the Miami-only restriction on the edit at the request of the contractor, the agency says in a new transmittal that replaces the Dec. 23, 2009 missive that first set out the accreditation edits (see Eli's HCW, Vol. XIX, No. 1, p. 7). The updated transmittal also clarifies the remittance advice remark code and claims adjustment reason code contractors will use for the accreditation edits. The edits will begin July 1 for the items specified in the transmittal online at
www.cms.gov/transmittals/downloads/R669OTN.pdf. An updated MLN Matters article about the edits is online at
