Home Health & Hospice Week

If you thought the E0419 billing glitch was resolved, think again.

Then: Last month, HHH Medicare Administrative Contractor CGS announced that Medicare contractors tried multiple times to fix a problem where some home health adjustments (type of bill XXG) were suspending in status/location S M90H4 with reason code E0419, and finally had implemented a resolution (see Eli’s HCW, Vol. XXV, No. 12).

Now: CGS says “the issue involving some adjustments (type of bill XXG), continues as previously reported.”

The next “resolution” is scheduled for April 25, the MAC reports on its website. “Until a resolution is implemented, CGS will manually work through the suspended adjustments,” CGS tells providers. But “due to the manual process and other limitations, some may not process until the scheduled implementation.”
