CMS has extended the phased-in participation under the Review Choice Demonstration for home health agencies in Florida and North Carolina until July 31, 2021.
This extension is only for one month, compared to the previous two extensions that were each for 90 days.
Providers may continue submitting pre-claim review requests, according to an updated from CMS. Claims that go through pre-claim review and are submitted with a valid UTN will be excluded from further medical review.
Claims submitted without going through the pre-claim review process will process as normal and will not be subject to a 25% payment reduction. These claims may be subject to postpayment review in the future through the normal medical review process.
