Duplicate Remittance Advice on the Interactive Voice Response System - Updated

Beginning Friday, December 18, 2009, the Duplicate Remittance Advice menu option on the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) System will have updated functionality.
Certificate of Medical Necessity Status on the Interactive Voice Response System - Updated

To ensure consistent and complete information, the Certificate of Medical Necessity (CMN) Status menu option on the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) System has been updated to redirect inquiries through the Same or Similar Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Lookup menu option. This allows suppliers to receive equipment history from the national Common Working File (CWF) and DME Jurisdiction D's local files. Previously, the CMN Status Option was only returning information found in the CWF.
