hi
Any assistance at all to this question would be greatly appreciated.
We have a procedure that we do in our ASC. When the fee was entered into our charge master, it was entered incorrectly as 1700.00 and it should have been 17,000.00.
I have 6 Medicare claims that need to be corrected. I called Medicare and they said it is fine to do corrected claims. The problem is, our Compliance officer and our CFO say this is illegal and they will not allow us to do it. I am wondering, asking, if anyone knows where I can get written, legal, confirmation that this is NOT illegal and that I can send out corrected claims.
Please help. 36k in reimbursement is at stake. thanks in advance.
