DME Jurisdiction D Contact Center Update Due to Flood
NAS anticipates high call volumes today due to the flood-related Fargo, ND office closures Wednesday afternoon through Friday March 27, 2009. To assist as many suppliers as possible, the contact center will limit inquiries to one-per-call. Suppliers are strongly encouraged to use the Interactive Voice Recognition (IVR) system at 1-877-320-0390 for your inquiries. The IVR accepts voice and touch-pad commands. The information available through the IVR includes:
a. Eligibility: effective dates, deductible, HMO information, deceased information based on anticipated date of service
b. Same or Similar: HCPCS code and modifier, initial date on file, recertification date, last date billed, billing supplier name and phone number
c. Claim Status: including allowed, paid, denied amounts and reason for the denial, the check number, and date of payment/denial
d. Checks: issue date, amount, check number
e. CMN Status: initial date of CMN, recertification date, length of need
f. Pricing: fee schedule allowed amount per quarter requested
g. Payment Floor: Number of pending claims and associated dollar amount, total number of claims on the payment floor and associated total dollar amount
The www.noridianmedicare.com/dme/ website offers a variety of forms, links to local coverage determinations and related policy articles, fee schedules, and contact information.
We truly appreciate the support received from our supplier community during this stressful period.
