How to Submit Notes Electronically
To submit notes to Medicare electronically, please use the HIPAA crosswalk and refer to the Item 19 information. This is a free-format narrative field in most systems and lets you type in up to 80 characters of information for each claim, plus an additional 80 characters for each line of service.
If you have more than that to communicate to us, merely write in "Additional documentation available upon request" and we will hold the claim while we write to you and ask for the documentation.
Please note we will only ask for additional documentation if we cannot process the claim without it. Also, if a claim is waiting for the return of documentation, the processing timeframe could be delayed by as much as 45 days.
