Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) are alerting providers to a new error causing RAPS to be incorrectly returned.
 
The return to provider (RTP) references reason code W7216 indicating an invalid line item date. MACs Palmetto GBA and CGS Administrators noted in alerts to providers Jan. 20 that the issue is being researched by technical support and no provider action was required.
 
This problem follows RAPs returned incorrectly in the first few days of the month due to an error in the system. That issue has since been resolved with a workaround handled by MACs.
