Attention all HAS Clients: Effective May 1, 2013, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) will turn on the Phase 2 denial edits. This means that Medicare
will deny claims for services or supplies that require an ordering/referring
provider to be identified and that provider is not identified, is not in
Medicare's enrollment records, or is not of a specialty type that may
order/refer the service/item being billed (See SE1305.pdf). If you are using HomeCare Accounting Solutions’ HBS Billing
application, we have had a built-in PECOS check feature for over a year (See
Attached PECOS FAQ.docx). We suggest you run this feature regularly as CMS
updates the PECOS list multiple times a month as new Physicians are added. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to
contact HAS Support.
