Troubleshoot Hospice Item Set Submission Errors

As hospices are getting the hang of Hospice Item Set submission, they are encountering multiple submission errors, says the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on its website.

Problem: The most common errors hospices are making are 902: Invalid XML (invalid file name extension); 904: Invalid XML (invalid structure or tags too long); 907: Duplicate Record; 3020a: Invalid FAC ID; 3022: Required Items Missing, according to CMS.

Solution: Find more information about the error messages you’re receiving and tips for troubleshooting in Section 5 of the Hospice Submission User’s Guide, CMS advises. It is available online at https://www.qtso.com/download/Guides/hospice/Users_Sec5.pdf.
