Guidance for editing CMS-2728 forms

• • Does the EDI have to send it to the helpdesk first then go back to the network for them to edit it?
  • Can the EDI just ask the network to edit it?
  • Has there been any agreement among the DM networks what fields will be edited and which ones will not?
    • This is still under discussion at the DM level
    • Still working on their policies for editing
    • When the DMs have their plan ready, Lisa would like to look them over to make sure everyone is in agreement before they say "yes"
    • How far along are the DMs with the plan?
      • Per Leah Skrien, they are in the middle of discussions making sure what fields impact Medicare coverage and which ones do not
      • Robert sent over a draft copy yesterday to Lisa to review and discuss before they made any final decisions
      • They are almost wrapped up with the process
      • Leah and Lisa will coordinate a time when they can meet to review and discuss

2728 completion when multiple access types on first treatment are used

• Per Kathleen - she pointed out that she was not sure if Medicare coverage is the only thing being considered by there has been a lot of attention on access that was used on the first treatment
  • Asking if there could be some consideration on allowing that field to be corrected
  • It is possible to use multiple access types on a treatment
  • Lisa will look more into this question
  • Michael will research it from a system stand point
  • This will be a subject topic that will be revisited in the next meeting
