You’ll have to wait a while longer for a fix to a PECOS-related claims system glitch.
The problem: “Some home health claims are receiving reason code 37236 and 37237 incorrectly,” Medicare Administrative Contractor CGS says on its website. “This issue is associated with a PECOS file error, and affects all Medicare Admini-strative Contractors (MACs) who process home health claims.”
Agencies will have to stand by for a resolution to the problem. Until then, affected claims will continue to suspend. At CGS, they suspend to location S MPCOS.
