I submitted a Medicare Redetermination, and it was denied because the signature date on the Oxygen CMN was outside of the allowed 30 days after the face-to-face visit. Then all of a sudden, the signature date was changed from September to July to meet the 30-day signature date requirement for Medicare. It is now being treated as the new order and the one with the September signature date has been deleted from the record. I would be afraid to do a Reconsideration because it was denied for the signature date. I would be afraid to speak up about this to the higher-ups. Maybe I'm overthinking this because I know if a Reconsideration was submitted with the new order and I were the Reconsideration panel, I would question this.
