HOLDING CLAIMS FOR PRICING BASED ON JANUARY 2012 FISS RELEASE

This article is to remind providers who bill Medicare Part A services that effective for dates of service beginning January 1, 2012, a brief hold will be placed on all claims. The hold will take place during the first 15 days of January 2012. Due to updated pricing files installed into the Fiscal Intermediary Shared System (FISS), claims need to be verified for correct pricing to ensure proper payment. All claims held during this time will be released no later than January 15, 2012. Noridian Administrative Services: Carrier/FI for Arizona, Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming and Minnesota.
