We've been trying to file electronic claims with Medicare but keep getting an error message saying a detailed description of service is needed. When details are added, it's rejected for details/description of service. Is anybody else having this problem or does anybody have suggestions on how to handle this? Thanks.

We had got an error and I don't recall what the error said exactly but we needed to start billing the codes with the NDC Code, NDC UOM (unit of measurement), and NDC units. I haven't seen any issues with them since then I don't believe.

NDC #'s
Medicare now requires NDC #'s on the claim for J-codes. Just one more thing to worry about....

I know this sounds stupid but where do you put the NDC number?

If your using a electronic system it would be hard to tell you where but on the claim form i believe it use to go in the pink box above the date(s) of service. I just pulled up a claim that I have a J code on and I don't even see the NDC number printed on it but I believe I had seen it there before.

From Guston, J3301 denial issues
With HCPCS code J3301, I have searched high and low until maybe one last try.
In my case, we are using Kenalog 40, for Physician's Office.
I tried NDC code without space,
Triamcinolone Acetonide 10mg, appropriate unit.
I still get the rejection.

Did you use the N4 qualifier in the front of your NDC number?
