Medicare Software Blocks Debility, Failure To Thrive,Dementia Diagnoses In Error
Published on Fri Nov 22, 2013
You’ll need to download a software patch if you’re using PC-ACE PRO32 v2.48.0.100 software and submitting hospice claims with principal diagnosis codes of 290.0, 294.8, 783.7 or 799.3. An institutional claim edit in the October release of the software incorrectly restricts usage of these codes, reports HHH Medicare Administrative Contractor CGS in a message to providers.
Do this: The January software release will fix the problem. In the meantime, you can go to www.system-designs.com/hspdgfix.htm to download a patch.
