Hi list,
I've recently had several patients come to my office for a prosthesis, socket replacement, etc. I'm in region C and they've been from region B. When I've filed the claims, they were rejected because the patient was from region B not region C. They told us (palmetto) we needed to file these on paper to the appropriate region for payment. Is this a new thing or has this been happening all along? I'm interested to see if this is something that is happening in Florida too with all of the snowbirds.
Thanks,
M. Britt Spears CPO
