Wiki 2023 Observation/Inpatient POS issues

[lgardner]

good afternoon fellow coders,

I have seen so many discussions about the issue of claims being denied for incorrect POS, and I believe that this is an issue because payors haven't updated their systems, yet.

I just received an update email from Novitas, which states:

01/30/2023

JH/JL Providers

Claims denied in error

Claims with dates of service on or after January 1, 2023, for CPT codes code 99221 - 99223 and 99231 - 99233 reported with place of service 22 (On-Campus-Outpatient Hospital) are denying in error.

A system update has been made to correct the problem. All impacted claims will be adjusted.

Open

Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for the update. It looks like WPS GHA has corrected the issue too.

Has anyone seen the same error from Palmetto GBA, Jurisdiction M by chance?
