Industry Note:
Hospice Claims Glitch Now Corrected
Published on Fri Dec 09, 2016
You should no longer see claims held up in error with code U5112, HHH Medicare Administrative Contractor CGS says on its website.
The problem: Hospice claims receiving U5112 incorrectly were being suspended in status/location S MU511, CGS explains.
The solution: The problem was fixed Nov. 21, CGS reports. “Claims are no longer receiving reason code U5211 in error. If you see a claim, other than a NOTR (8XB), in RTP with reason code U5211 after November 21st, please contact the Provider Contact Center,” the MAC instructs.
