Fiscal Intermediary Standard System (FISS) Direct Data Entry (DDE) Screen Changes
The April 2019 quarterly system release, which will be implemented on April 1, 2019, includes changes to the following FISS DDE screens. In addition, the Part A DDE User Manual/Reference Guide and the home health and hospice FISS DDE Guide have been updated to reflect these changes.
