Top Claim Submission Errors for Hospice Providers: Error U5150
Reason for error: A hospice claim was received; however, no Notice of Election (NOE) is on file.
Claim processing result: Return to Provider (RTP)
How to prevent/resolve:
- Using FISS Option 12 (Claims), verify the NOE has been submitted and processed. To be considered processed, an NOE must appear in status/location (s/loc) P B9997.
- Example below: The NOE has been submitted, but did not process; it appears in the return to provider (RTP), status/location T B9997.
- Never submit an NOE and claim on the same day.
- Using FISS Option 12 (Claims), verify the ADMIT DATE on the NOE and claim are the same.
