Submitting Hospice Notices of Election (NOEs) via Electronic Data Interchange
The Centers for Medicare & Mediciad Services (CMS) issued Change Request 10064 which allows hospice providers to submit NOEs electronically, effective January 2, 2018. Currently, NOEs can only be submitted via paper UB-04 (CMS-1450) or by entering directly into the Fiscal Intermediary Standard System (FISS) via Direct Data Entry (DDE).
CGS encourages hospice providers to develop trading partner agreements to prepare for the implementation of this Change Request. If you have any questions, please contact the EDI deparment by calling the CGS Provider Contact Center at 1.877.299.4500 and choose Option 2.
