| DME MAC Contractors Introduce National Comprehensive Error Rate Testing (CERT) Education Initiative In Special Ask-The-Contractor TeleconferenceJanuary 13, 2010 The Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services recently revised and improved its calculations of Medicare fee-for-service error rates in 2009. Strengthening this process has resulted in increased audits and requests for additional documentation to support payment of supplier claims. In a unique approach to reducing common CERT error rates, DME MAC Jurisdictions A, B, C, and D have collaborated to form the DME MAC CERT Education Task Force. The Task Force has identified common national errors and has developed consistent educational messages which will be used by all four DME MAC jurisdictions in support of reducing errors. Learn how participation in new CERT education initiatives will help reduce errors and improve your responses to documentation requests. The Director of the Division of Contractor Provider Communications for CMS will introduce the new education initiative. Members of the DME MAC CERT Education Task Force will share important details on CERT education during the special Ask-the-Contractor teleconference Wednesday, January 13, 2009 at 2 p.m. ET/ 1 p.m. CST.
