IMPORTANT Information regarding the CERT Barcoded Coversheet
The CERT Documentation Contractor has requested that CGS share the following information:
- Each request from the CERT Contractor is accompanied by a barcoded coversheet. This coversheet labels the documentation for the correct beneficiary and date(s) of service. It is critical that you submit a copy of this coversheet with all documentation. Lack of a correct coversheet may result in denials if the CERT Contractor cannot identify the record.
- The barcoded cover sheet SHOULD be included as the first page of all documentation submitted to the CERT Contractor, regardless of media used.
- When submitting records for more than one request, place the corresponding coversheet in front of each record.
- For any subsequent requests for additional documentation, the new, corresponding barcoded coversheet MUST accompany the additional documentation.
Important: do not use a barcoded coversheet from a previous request.
