New messages will be displayed on the 277CA electronic claims acknowledgement response reports. These new messages are called Smart Edits and they will alert you of any claims that can be repaired and resubmitted prior to a denial.
The 277CA is an electronic report that is available shortly after the electronic claim file is submitted. This report is a routine part of the billing process that advises whether the claims submitted were sent to the processing system or not. If you are not familiar with this report, consult with your electronic billing department or your billing service/clearinghouse. It is important for you to make sure these reports are being received and interpreted for every electronic claim file that is submitted.
For more information on the Smart Edit enhancements, the implementation plan, and the Smart Edit Lists, visit the Smart Edits web page. Thank you for reading this full message and taking the necessary actions to ensure your Medicare payments will not be negatively impacted.
The Pennsylvania Podiatric Medical Association (PPMA) currently represents more than 875 Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (or podiatrists/DPM) across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
