Ensuring Only the Active Billing Hospice Can Submit a Revocation
CR 11049 creates a new Common Working File (CWF) edit in Medicare systems to ensure that the provider identifier (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Certification Number (CCN)) on Type of Bill (TOB) 8xB matches the most recent provider CCN on a hospice benefit period. CR 11049 contains no new policy. It revises Medicare systems to administer existing hospice benefit policy more efficiently.
