                                                    The code categorizing groups of BICs
                                                    representing similar relationships between

                                                    Under IP PPS, inpatient hospital services are paid based on
                                                    a predetermined rate per discharge, using the DRG patient
                                                    classification system and the PRICER program.   On the IP
                                                    PPS claim, the payment amount includes the DRG outlier
                                                    approved payment amount, disproportionate share (since

                                                    PPS capital (since 10/1/91).  After 4/1/03, the payment
                                                    amount could also include a "new technology" add-on amount.
                                                    After 7/5/2011, the payment amount could also include
                                                    a payment adjustment given to hospitals to account for
                                                    the higher costs per discharge for "low-income hospitals".
                                                    After 10/1/2012, the payment amount could also include

                                                    10/1/2014, the payment amount could also include the
                                                    uncompensated care payment (UCP).

                                                    It does NOT include the pass-thru amounts (i.e., capital-

                                                    amounts (i.e., deductibles and coinsurance); or any
                                                    any other payer reimbursement.

                                                    Under IRFPPS, inpatient rehabilitation services are paid
                                                    based on a predetermined rate per discharge, using the
                                                    Case Mix Group (CMG) classification system and the PRICER
                                                    program.  From the CMG on the IRF PPS claim, payment is
                                                    based on a standard payment amount for operating and
                                                    capital cost for that facility (including routine and
                                                    ancillary services).   The payment is adjusted for wage,
                                                    the % of low-income patients (LIP), locality, transfers,
                                                    interrupted stays, short stay cases, deaths, and high
                                                    cost outliers.   Some or all of these adjustments could
                                                    apply.  The CMG payment does NOT include certain pass-
                                                    through costs (i.e. bad debts, approved education
                                                    activities); beneficiary-paid amounts, other payer reim-

                                                    Under LTCH PPS, long term care hospital services are paid
                                                    based on a predetermined rate per discharge based on the
                                                    DRG and the PRICER program.   Payments are based on a
                                                    single standard Federal rate for both inpatient operating
                                                    and capital-related costs (including routine and ancillary
                                                    services), but do NOT include certain pass-through costs
                                                    (i.e. bad debts, direct medical education, new technologies
                                                    and blood clotting factors).  Adjustments to the payment
                                                    may occur due to short-stay outliers, interrupted stays,

                                                    classification (APC) rate that is calculated for each APC
                                                    group is the basis for determining the total claim payment.
                                                    The payment amount also includes the outlier payment and
                                                    interest.

                                                    Under Home Health PPS, beneficiaries will be classified into
                                                    an appropriate case mix category known as the Home Health
                                                    Resource Group.  A HIPPS code is then generated
                                                    corresponding to the case mix category (HHRG).

                                                    For the RAP, the PRICER will determine the payment amount
                                                    appropriate to the HIPPS code by computing 60% (for first
                                                    episode) or 50% (for subsequent episodes) of the case mix
                                                    episode payment.  The payment is then wage index adjusted.

                                                    For the final claim, PRICER calculates 100% of the amount
                                                    due, because the final claim is processed as an adjustment
                                                    to the RAP, reversing the RAP payment in full.  Although
                                                    final claim will show 100% payment amount, the provider will
                                                    actually receive the 40% or 50% payment. The payment may
                                                    also include outlier payments.

                                                    Exceptions:  For claims involving demos and BBA encounter

                                                    instead of the actual payment to the MCO.

                                                    provider payment but represent a special negotiated
                                                    bundled payment for both Part A and Part B services.
                                                    To identify what the conventional provider Part A
                                                    payment would have been, check value code = 'Y4'.   The

                                                    amount Medicare would have paid under FFS, instead of
                                                    the actual payment to the BBA plan.

                                                    The National Provider Identifier (NPI) of the
                                                    group practice, where the performing physician
                                                    is part of that group.

                                                    NOTE: Effective May 2007, the NPI will become
                                                    the national standard identifier for covered
                                                    health care providers.  NPIs will replace the
                                                    current legacy numbers (UPINs, PINs, etc.) on
                                                    the standard HIPPA claim transactions.  (During
                                                    the NPI transition phase (4/3/06 - 5/23/07) the
                                                    capability was there for the NCH to receive NPIs
                                                    along with an existing legacy number.

                                                    CMS has determined that dual provider identifiers
                                                    (old legacy numbers and new NPI) must be available
                                                    in the NCH.  After the 5/07 NPI implementation, the
                                                    standard system maintainers will add the legacy
                                                    number to the claim when it is adjudicated.  We
                                                    will continue to receive the OSCAR provider
                                                    number and any currently issued UPINs.  Effective
                                                    May 2007, no NEW UPINs (legacy number) will be
                                                    generated for NEW physicians (Part B and Outpatient
                                                    claims), so there will only be NPIs sent in to the
                                                    NCH for those physicians.

                                                    The code on a noninstitutional claim indicating to
                                                    whom payment was made or if the claim was denied.

                                                    NOTE1:  Effective 4/1/02, this field was expanded
                                                    to two bytes to accommodate new values.  The
                                                    NCH Nearline file did not expand the current
                                                    1-byte field but instituted a crosswalk of the
                                                    2-byte field to the 1-byte character value.
                                                    See table of code for the crosswalk.

                                                    NOTE2:  Effective with Version 'J', the field has been
                                                    expanded on the NCH record to 2 bytes,  With this
                                                    expansion, the NCH will no longer use the character
                                                    values to represent the official two byte values sent in
                                                    by CWF since 4/2002.  During the Version J conversion,
                                                    all character values were converted to the two byte
                                                    values.

      27.10 = The documentation indicates that the
              service level of continuous home care
              wasn't reasonable and necessary.

      27.11 = The provider has billed in error for the
              routine home care items or services

      27.12 = The documentation indicates that your
              respite level of care exceeded five
              consecutive days. Therefore, payment

              paid at the routine home care rate.
      27.13 = According to Medicare hospice
              requirements, this service is not covered

              services were not necessary for care
              related to the terminal illness.
              Therefore, payment will be adjusted to
              the routine home care rate.
      27.5  = Payment for the day of discharge from the
              hospital will be made to the hospice
              agency at the routine home care rate.

              care was at the respite level not the
              general inpatient level of care.
              Therefore, payment will be adjusted to
              the routine home care rate.
      27.7  = According to Medicare hospice
              requirements, the hospice election
              consent was not signed timely.

      27.9  = The documentation indicates your

              reasonable and necessary. Therefore,
              payment will be adjusted to the routine
              home care rate.
      27.99 = Medicare allows your doctor to charge for
              developing a plan of treatment for your
              home health or hospice services.

              medical, liability, or no-fault insurance

              difference between the two amounts.
      29.18 = The amount listed in the "You May Be
              Billed" column assumes that your primary
              insurer paid the provider. If your

              to your primary insurer first.
      29.6  = Our records show that Medicare is your
              secondary payer. Services provided

              since you were not previously notified.
      29.7  = Medicare cannot pay for this service
              because it was furnished by a provider
              who is not a member of your employer
              prepaid health plan. Our records show
              that you were informed of this rule.
      29.8  = This claim is denied because the
              service(s) may be covered by the worker's

              the amount originally paid. If an
              overpayment requiring a refund was made

      30.41 = What Medicare pays for a service or item
              may be higher than the billed amount.
              This amount is correct. Medicare pays
              this provider less than the billed amount
              on other claims since payment rates are
              set in advance for certain services and

              amount charged.
      31.12 = The previous notice we sent stated the
              amount you could be charged for this

      31.96 = Per our telephone call, no payment can be
              made on your review request. Medicare
              does not separately pay for these charges

             If you did not know, and could not have
             reasonably been expected to know, that
             we would not pay for this service; or -
             If you notified the patient in writing
             before providing the service that you
             believed that we were likely to deny the
             service, and the patient signed a
             statement agreeing to pay for the
             service.
             If you come within either exception, or
             if you believe the carrier was wrong in
             its determination that we do not pay for
             this service, you should request appeal
             of this determination within 30 days of
             the date of this notice. Your request

             is unfavorable, the law specifies that
             you must make the refund within 15 days
             of receiving the unfavorable review
             decision.
             The law also permits you to request an
             appeal at any time within 120 days of

             However, an appeal request that is
             received more than 30 days after the

           tion of this field where the claim was missing
           revenue center code = '0001'.   In 1994, patch
           was applied to the OP and HHA SAFs only. (This
           SAF patch indicator was stored in the redefined
           Claim Edit Group, 4th occurrence, position 2).
           During the 'H' ocnversion, patch applied to

           greater than 1700 and less than 1850; if
           century less than 1700, zeroes moved.

           if greater than 64, MSC='10'; if less than
           65, MSC = '20'.
      08 = Invalid NCH primary payer code set to blanks
           (Instnl) -- applied during Version 'H' con-
           version to claims with NCH weekly process
           date 10/1/93-10/30/95, where MSP values =
           invalid '0', '1', '2', '3' or '4' (caused
           by erroneous logic in HCFA program code,
           which was corrected on 11/1/95).
      09 = Zero CWF claim accretion date replaced with
           NCH weekly process date (all claim types)
           -- applied during Version 'H' conversion to
           Instnl and DMERC claims; applied during
           Version 'G' conversion to non-institutional
           (non-DMERC) claims.  Prior to Version 'H',
           patch indicator stored in redefined claim
           edit group, 3rd occurrence, position 1.
      10 = Multiple Revenue Center 0001 (Outpatient,
           HHA and Hospice) -- patch applied to 1998 &
           1999 Nearline and SAFs to delete any revenue
           codes that followed the first '0001' revenue
           center code.   The edit was applied across all
           institutional claim types, including Inpatient/
           SNF (the problem was only found with OP/HHA/
           Hospice claims).  The problem was corrected
           6/25/99.
      11 = Truncated claim total charge amount in the
           fixed portion replaced with the total charge
           amount in the revenue center 0001 amount field
           -- service years 1998 & 1999 patched during
           quarterly merge.  The 1998 & 1999 SAFs were
           corrected when finalized in 7/99.  The patch
           was done for records with NCH Daily Process
           Date 1/4/99 - 5/14/99.
      12 = Missing claim-level HHA Total Visit Count --
           service years 1998, 1999 & 2000 patch applied
           during Version 'I' conversion of both the
           Nearline and SAFs.   Problem occurs in those
           claims recovered during the missing claims
           effort.
      13 = Inconsistent Claim MCO Paid Switch made consistent
           with criteria used to identify an inpatient
           encounter claim -- if MCO paid switch equal to blank
           or '0' and ALL conditions are met to indicate an
           inpatient encounter claim (bene enrolled in a risk
           MCO during the service period), change the switch to
           a '1'.  The patch was applied during the Version 'I'
           conversion, for claims back to 7/1/97 service thru date.

      14 = SNF claims incorrectly identified as Inpatient
           Encounter claims -- SNF claims matching the Inpatient
           encounter data criteria were incorrectly identified
           as Inpatient encounter claims (claim type code = '61'
           instead of '20' or '30').   NOTE:  if the SNF claims
           were identified the MCO paid switch was set to '1'.
           The patch was applied to correctly identify these
           claims as a '20' or '30'.  The MCO paid switch will
           be set to '0' as there is no way to recover the original
           value.  The problem occurred in claims with an NCH
           Weekly Process Date ranging from 7/7/2000 - 1/26/2001.
           The patch applied date is 03/30/2001.

      15 = HHA Part A claims with overlaid revenue center lines -
           During the Version 'I' conversion, NCH made each
           segment of a claim contains a maximum of 45 revenue
           lines.  During the month of June 2000 our CWFMQA had
           to be ready to except the new expanded format, but the
           NCH was not ready.  CWFMQA converted these 'I' claims
           back to Version 'H', a typo in the code caused the
           additional revenue lines to overlay some of the
           revenue lines on the base/initial record/segment.
           The problem occurred in claims with NCH Weekly Process
           dates from 6/16/00, 6/23/00, 6/30/00 and 7/7/00
           (both Version 'H' & 'I' files).

           In the Version 'I' files, the annual service year
           2000 files, service year 1999 and 1998 trickles were
           patched.  The 18-month service year 1999 was also
           patched (the service year 2000 SAF was created after
           the fix was applied).

           The patch applied date is 06/29/2001.

              to your primary insurer first.
      29.6  = Our records show that Medicare is your
              secondary payer. Services provided
              outside your prepaid health plan are not
              covered. We will pay this time only
              since you were not previously notified.
      29.7  = Medicare cannot pay for this service
              because it was furnished by a provider
              who is not a member of your employer
              prepaid health plan. Our records show
              that you were informed of this rule.
      29.8  = This claim is denied because the
              service(s) may be covered by the worker's
              compensation plan. Ask your provider to
              submit a claim to that plan.

              on the claim.
      3.18  = This represents an adjustment of a
              previously processed claim. If an
              underpayment was made, the attached
              check pays the total claim allowed minus
              the amount originally paid. If an
              overpayment requiring a refund was made
              and a refund has not already been
              submitted, you will be contacted by
              letter from the Medicare claims office.

              this amount, you are entitled to a refund
              from the provider.
      30.4  = A change in payment methods has resulted
              in a reduced or zero payment for this
              procedure.
      30.41 = What Medicare pays for a service or item
              may be higher than the billed amount.
              This amount is correct. Medicare pays
              this provider less than the billed amount
              on other claims since payment rates are
              set in advance for certain services and
              averaged out over an entire year.
      30.5  = This amount is the difference in billed

      31.11 = The previous notice we sent stated that
              your doctor could not charge more than

              amount charged.
      31.12 = The previous notice we sent stated the
              amount you could be charged for this

              you more than ($______).
      31.13 = The Medicare paid amount has been reduced
              by ($______) previously paid for this

              reconsideration. You must request a
              reconsideration within 180 days of the

      31.96 = Per our telephone call, no payment can be
              made on your review request. Medicare
              does not separately pay for these charges

              you have already paid.
      8.8   = This equipment is covered only if

              provider/supplier requests a review of
              this claim within 30 days, a refund is
              not required until we complete our review

              supplier.

             reasonably been expected to know, that
             we would not pay for this service; or -
             If you notified the patient in writing
             before providing the service that you
             believed that we were likely to deny the
             service, and the patient signed a
             statement agreeing to pay for the
             service.
             If you come within either exception, or
             if you believe the carrier was wrong in
             its determination that we do not pay for
             this service, you should request appeal
             of this determination within 30 days of
             the date of this notice. Your request
             for review should include any additional

             If you request an appeal within 30 days

             refunding the amount to the patient
             until you receive the results of the

             favorable to you, you do not need to
             make any refund. If, however, the review
             is unfavorable, the law specifies that
             you must make the refund within 15 days
             of receiving the unfavorable review
             decision.
             The law also permits you to request an
             appeal at any time within 120 days of

             However, an appeal request that is

      04 = Incorrect bene residence SSA standard county
           code '999' changed (all claim types) --
           applied during the Nearline 'G' conversion and
           ongoing through 4/21/94, calling EQSTZIP
           routine to claims with NCH weekly process
           date prior to 4/22/94.  Prior to Version 'H'
           patch indicator stored in redefined Claim
           Edit Group, 3rd occurrence, position 4.
      05 = Wrong century bene birth date corrected (all
           claim types) -- applied during Nearline 'H'
           conversion to all history where century
           greater than 1700 and less than 1850; if
           century less than 1700, zeroes moved.
      06 = Inconsistent CWF bene medicare status code

           applied during Nearline 'H' conversion to all

           'H' conversion to all history and patched
           ongoing, except claims with unknown DOB and/
           or Claim From Date='0' (left blank).   Bene

           if greater than 64, MSC='10'; if less than
           65, MSC = '20'.
      08 = Invalid NCH primary payer code set to blanks
           (Instnl) -- applied during Version 'H' con-
           version to claims with NCH weekly process
           date 10/1/93-10/30/95, where MSP values =
           invalid '0', '1', '2', '3' or '4' (caused
           by erroneous logic in HCFA program code,
           which was corrected on 11/1/95).
      09 = Zero CWF claim accretion date replaced with
           NCH weekly process date (all claim types)
           -- applied during Version 'H' conversion to
           Instnl and DMERC claims; applied during
           Version 'G' conversion to non-institutional
           (non-DMERC) claims.  Prior to Version 'H',
           patch indicator stored in redefined claim
           edit group, 3rd occurrence, position 1.
      10 = Multiple Revenue Center 0001 (Outpatient,
           HHA and Hospice) -- patch applied to 1998 &
           1999 Nearline and SAFs to delete any revenue
           codes that followed the first '0001' revenue
           center code.   The edit was applied across all
           institutional claim types, including Inpatient/
           SNF (the problem was only found with OP/HHA/
           Hospice claims).  The problem was corrected
           6/25/99.
      11 = Truncated claim total charge amount in the
           fixed portion replaced with the total charge
           amount in the revenue center 0001 amount field
           -- service years 1998 & 1999 patched during
           quarterly merge.  The 1998 & 1999 SAFs were
           corrected when finalized in 7/99.  The patch
           was done for records with NCH Daily Process
           Date 1/4/99 - 5/14/99.
      12 = Missing claim-level HHA Total Visit Count --
           service years 1998, 1999 & 2000 patch applied
           during Version 'I' conversion of both the
           Nearline and SAFs.   Problem occurs in those
           claims recovered during the missing claims
           effort.
      13 = Inconsistent Claim MCO Paid Switch made consistent
           with criteria used to identify an inpatient
           encounter claim -- if MCO paid switch equal to blank
           or '0' and ALL conditions are met to indicate an
           inpatient encounter claim (bene enrolled in a risk
           MCO during the service period), change the switch to
           a '1'.  The patch was applied during the Version 'I'
           conversion, for claims back to 7/1/97 service thru date.

      14 = SNF claims incorrectly identified as Inpatient
           Encounter claims -- SNF claims matching the Inpatient
           encounter data criteria were incorrectly identified
           as Inpatient encounter claims (claim type code = '61'
           instead of '20' or '30').   NOTE:  if the SNF claims
           were identified the MCO paid switch was set to '1'.
           The patch was applied to correctly identify these
           claims as a '20' or '30'.  The MCO paid switch will
           be set to '0' as there is no way to recover the original
           value.  The problem occurred in claims with an NCH
           Weekly Process Date ranging from 7/7/2000 - 1/26/2001.
           The patch applied date is 03/30/2001.

      15 = HHA Part A claims with overlaid revenue center lines -
           During the Version 'I' conversion, NCH made each
           segment of a claim contains a maximum of 45 revenue
           lines.  During the month of June 2000 our CWFMQA had
           to be ready to except the new expanded format, but the
           NCH was not ready.  CWFMQA converted these 'I' claims
           back to Version 'H', a typo in the code caused the
           additional revenue lines to overlay some of the
           revenue lines on the base/initial record/segment.
           The problem occurred in claims with NCH Weekly Process
           dates from 6/16/00, 6/23/00, 6/30/00 and 7/7/00
           (both Version 'H' & 'I' files).

           In the Version 'I' files, the annual service year
           2000 files, service year 1999 and 1998 trickles were
           patched.  The 18-month service year 1999 was also
           patched (the service year 2000 SAF was created after
           the fix was applied).

           The patch applied date is 06/29/2001.
