Suppression of Standard Paper Remittance Advice to Providers and Suppliers Also Receiving Electronic Remittance Advice for 45 Days or More
This change request instructs Carriers and Durable Medical Equipment Regional Carriers (DMERCs) to suppress the distribution of standard paper remittance advices (SPRs) to those providers/suppliers (or a billing agent, clearing house, or other entity representing those providers) receiving electronic remittance advice (ERA) transactions for 45 days or more. The CMS has developed software that gives providers/suppliers a tool to read and print a remittance advice (RA) from the Health Care Claim Payment/Advice (835) file.
