Attention Part B Medicare providers who bill Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents to National Government Services:
National Government Services has identified an issue with edit 638A based on the Local Coverage Determination Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents L25211. It has been identified that claims are denying inappropriately with reason codes 029 or 481, These are non-covered services because this is not deemed a 'medical necessity' by the payer.We are working to correct this issue, and expect it to be resolved by mid-December 2009. All claims that have been incorrectly denied will be adjusted by National Government Services. Providers do not need to take any action at this time.Thank you for visiting the National Government Services Web site!National Government Services encourages all Web site users to provide feedback regarding ways to improve our Web site.
