HELP!!! I work for a Critical Access Hospital and we are having trouble with unlisted procedure codes. We have received a transmittal that states that on March 2, 2010 CMS issued a memo to all Medicare contractors entitled "Critical Access Hospital (CAH) Method II Providers Notification." In this transmittal CMS states the following...
"please be advised that effective April 1, 2010 claims submitted by a CAH Method II provider containing unlisted Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Codes for professional services (Revenue Codes 96X, 97X or 98X) will be returned. The CAH Method II provider will need to determine a more specific HCPCS Code for Unlisted procedures rendered by a physician before resubmitting the claim. Providers unable to detemine a more specific HCPCS Code can contact the AMA to request a code be assigned for the assiciatedc procedure:" Reference: JSM CI
6520-10161; 03/02/10
Is anyone else out there dealing with this?
