Remittance Advice Reminder
Are you receiving an Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA)? Have you tried Medicare Remit Easy Print (MREP) software?
As of June 1, 2006, if you have been receiving both an Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA), either directly from your Medicare carrier/DMERC or indirectly from a clearinghouse, billing agent, or other entity representing you, and a Standard Paper Remittance (SPR) from your carrier/DMERC for 45 days or more, you will no longer be mailed an SPR by your carrier/DMERC, in accordance with Change Request (CR) 4376. Check out Special Edition MLN Matters article SE0627 which outlines some of the options available to providers who will no longer receive the SPR directly from their carrier/DMERC. The article is located at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/MLNMattersArticles/downloads/SE0627.pdf 
on the CMS Website.
For more information about Medicare Remit Easy Print (MREP) software or about receiving a HIPAA-compliant ERA, please contact your Medicare carrier or DMERC, or go to their website.
