Novitas Solutions eNews: Jurisdiction H, Part A

Important Credit Balance Changes are HERE!

As previously posted, Credit Balance Certification pages and detail pages that contain invalid, inaccurate, or incomplete information will be rejected. Please see “How to Complete CMS-838 Credit Balance Reports” for the latest information on what is required when filing.

Changes to FAX Submission Method
In the past, only zero balance certifications could be received by fax. That has CHANGED! FAX all credit balance reports to 410-891-5230 unless remitting payment by check. Reports containing “Check” as method of repayment are the only reports that must be sent by mail.
