The purpose of this Change Request (CR) is to update BUDS05 to create an audit record when operators manually enter an Action Code on a claim line. This update will help in identifying when a claim was manually denied versus denied due to a SuperOp, EAR, VMAP table or other. It will assist the Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractors (DME MACs) by reducing time spent on researching inquiries.
