Interim Action to Process Claims for L5670 until Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Consolidated Billing Files Can Be Updated with the October 2009 Quarterly Release
This message is to bring your attention to a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Consolidated Billing claim processing issue associated with HCPCS code L5670. Code L5670 was inadvertently left off the SNF Consolidated Billing Coding Files for 2009. L5670 should be separately payable outside of the SNF consolidated billing bundled payment. This problem will be corrected with the October 5, 2009 quarterly system update. Until then, please contact us at 1.866.813.7878 to have claims you have submitted with dates of service January 1, 2009, or later containing L5670 re-opened and re-processed. We apologize for any inconvenience you experience related to this problem.
