Wiki Voluntary Refunds

[coder1]

Good Morning Coding World,

My practice finally realize how serious it is to refund voluntary to MCR. Although, we are setting a standard we are having problems with posting. Our vendor is posting the adjusment EOB from the voluntary refunds as takebacks. Do MCR give a deifferent reason code for vonutary refund adjusment versus takebacks????

thanks in advance.

The reason should be the same whether the funds are being taken back or voluntarily refunded...so should not matter.

A "takeback" or recoup will be reflected at the bottom of the Medicare Remittance as a "wo".
