weird Medicare denial?

(1/3) > >>

Christy:
anyone have any insight as to why Medicare would deny a claim for having the same NPI in box 24J and also in box 33a?

it's a sole provider with one type 1 NPI.

Medicare stinks!

thanks!

Michele:
What state are you in?  A while back we had that issue here in NY.  If the NPI in 24J was the same as the one in 33a then they wanted 24J left blank.  Not sure if they still do, our clearinghouse handles it on their end.

Christy:
thanks, Michele!

New York also!

I filled in both fields, and when it carried over thru Office Ally, 24J went blank. This is for one of my providers. I do the same for another provider, and it goes through with no problem?!?!?


ugh!

PMRNC:
I'm in NY too.. 24J Blank in your case.

Christy:
the claims were denied for 24J being blank (although it wasn't actually blank- there is some sort of problem in the transmittal between Office Ally and Medicare....

CMS says that both 24J and 33A need to be completed...
