Demand Letters for Polysomnography Claims
In June, Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) began to demand and recover what CMS initially considered to be identified overpayments associated with an Office of Inspector General study on polysomnography claims. In August, this activity was suspended. Providers should not appeal these overpayments, as all claim denials will be reversed. Any recouped money will be refunded, including interest. No action is required by providers.
