This article was revised on April 16, 2010, to reflect the revised CR 6777 that was issued on April 15, 2010. The article was revised to reflect a revised CR release date, transmittal number R1946CP, and a revised Web address for accessing CR 6777. For claims that have been manually processed due to the fact the number of OSC periods exceeded the limitation of ten, Medicare FIs and MACs will work directly with hospitals to ensure such claims are appropriately processed. ?Additional payment will not be made for claims that were already paid manually. ?Medicare contractors will override timely filing for such claims.
