Some payments processed in April will be reprocessed after a billing error caused the 2% sequestration to be deducted twice, according to Medicare Administrative Contractor Palmetto GBA.
The underpaid claims involved were received from April 17 to April 28. The Fiscal Intermediary Shared System (FISS) is creating a utility to identify and reprocess all claims paid incorrectly due to this issue, beginning on May 14, according to Palmetto.
