Claim denial
• Before contacting customer service, check claim status though the IVR. The IVR will release necessary details around claim denials.
• Ensure all information on a claim is correct before submitting to Medicare.
• Example: The date(s) of service (DOS) on the claim should correspond to the number of units/days being billed.
• Refer to the Claim completion FAQs, Billing issues FAQs, and Unprocessable FAQs on the FCSO Medicare provider website for additional information on why claims may deny and how to correct this.
• You may also refer to the Top Part B claim denials and RUCs tip sheets for tips and resources on correcting and avoiding certain claim denials.
