Correction to Hospice Notice of Revocation Processing

CMS issued MLM Matter # MM8795 related to Change Request 8795.  When a hospice period is terminated, the hospice provider is required to submit the termination or revocation notice within five (5) calendar days. If the provider is not prepared to submit their final claim, they must submit the 08XB type of bill (TOB) to terminate the hospice period. Currently, there are fields providers do not have access to under DDE, which are required to submit this TOB through DDE. Therefore, MACs must facilitate the completion of the submission for the hospice. CR8795 requires updates to the DDE system to allow providers to complete all fields required for complete submission of the notice of revocation. CR8795 contains no change in policy.
