Beware a new payment glitch hitting hospice claims. “Hospice claims are incorrectly rejecting with reason code C7080 indicating that one or more line item date of service overlaps with another claim,” HHH Medicare Administrative Contractor CGS reports on its website. The MAC has reported the issue to the Common Working File contractor, and there’s no action providers can take at this time.
