Claims for Untimely Notices of Election (NOE) Reminder
CGS is seeing an increase in claims where hospice providers are not billing with Occurrence Span Code (OSC) 77 and applicable dates when appending the KX modifier on all claims up to the receipt date of the NOE with remarks as to why the NOE was not timely.
As a reminder, providers only want to bill the OSC 77, with applicable dates, and KX modifier when the NOE was billed untimely, and an exception is being requested.
Please refer to the following webpage, Submitting Claims for Untimely Notices of Election (NOEs), which includes detailed instructions on how to file for such claims.
