This change request instructs the VMS shared system maintainer to begin reporting to the Common Working File (CWF) both the State used to identify the DMEPOS fee schedule that determined the Medicare payment amount and the beneficiary?s residence ZIP code for all DMEPOS claims. It also implements changes to the CWF and the National Claims History (NCH) to begin capturing this information in the Standard Analytical Files (SAF) claims data to be used for DMEPOS claims research and evaluation purposes.
