Billing:

Hospices Win One Concession On Notice Of Election Submission

Resubmit incorrect NOEs immediately, when errors fall into ‘billing’ category.

You should be able to achieve better NOE timeliness stats under a new rule from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

New way: “When a Notice of Election (NOE) is submitted timely (within 5 days after a hospice admission), but the hospice provider determines the NOE contained a billing error, a new corrected NOE can be submitted immediately,” notes HHH Medicare Administrative Contractor CGS on its website.

Old way: “Hospices do not need to wait for the initial incorrect NOE to be Returned to the Provider (RTPd),” CGS directs.

“Submitting a new, corrected NOE within the 5 days will reduce the risk of having an untimely NOE,” the MAC adds.
