Subject: WARNING! Inaccurate eligibility denials!

 

Warning!  Medicare Claims are being inaccurately denied based on issues with the Medicare eligibility contractor.  This problem is being addressed but until it is resolved, we recommend you keep screen shots and/or downloads of all eligibility inquiries.

 

NAHC reports that all MACs are experiencing this issue.  Eligibility and entitlement dates are being incorrectly recorded, causing denials.  Should you receive a denial, having the screenshot/downloaded files from your inquiries will help in the correction process. 

 

MHCA will keep you updated as more information becomes available.
