MREP and PC Print Updates for Operating Rules Phase III 360 Rule Compliance

CMS developed Medicare Remit Easy Print (MREP) software to help providers to transition from paper to electronic format of the remittance advice. MREP users can view and print the ERA in humanly readable format, and can send a hard copy remittance advice with their claims to payers after Medicare. Medicare contractor’s systems will publish text describing the Group Code/CARC/RARC/CAGC reject codes included in the remittance advice to trading partners using MREP, PC Print, or PCACE software to view/print all V5010 X12 835 transactions. All published text will contain corresponding code descriptions or definitions specified in the code lists without changing the meaning and intent of the descriptions.
