Medicare Learning Network Publication: Understanding the Remittance Advice
Understanding the Remittance Advice: A Guide for Medicare Providers, Physicians, Suppliers, and Billers has been updated and is now available online through the Medicare Learning Network's publication page located at, www.cms.hhs.gov/MLNProducts/downloads/RA_Guide_Full_03-22-06.pdf, (pdf - 179 pages; 7MB) on the CMS website. This comprehensive publication provides practical information on the types, uses, components of and standardized codes sets used on the RA as well as how to read the Standard Paper Remittance Advice and the Electronic Remittance Advice using PC-Print software (for institutional providers who receive RAs from Fiscal Intermediaries or Regional Home Health Intermediaries) and Medicare Remit Easy Print software (for professional providers who receive RAs from Carriers or DMERCs). It also includes a number of helpful resources including field indexes (for institutional RAs and professional RAs), an acronym list, and a glossary. In addition to the online version of "The RA Guide", it will also be available in print and on CD ROM later this Spring. CMS will announce the availability of these products as they become available.
