Pub 100-04 Medicare Claims Processing: Instructions for Downloading the Medicare ZIP Code Files for January 2010
Guidance that rescinds Transmittal 1792, issued on August 7, 2009, and replaces it with Transmittal 1835, dated October 27, 2009. The replacement adds two new state codes to the ZIP code files for January 2010, to fix an error discovered on the clinical lab fee schedule, where claims were priced incorrectly. Information was also added to the Policy Section about two new state codes for Kansas (EK to identify Johnson and Wyandotte Counties and WK to identify all other counties). The affected fee schedules will be corrected upon issuance of this transmittal. All other information remains the same.
