Four Exceptions

Medicare guidelines allow for four exceptions if a hospice NOE is not filed timely. Hospices can provide sufficient information in the REMARKS field (FISS Page 04) that clearly indicates all the circumstances and time frames supporting the exception request. Refer to the "Requesting an Exception" information below.

Requesting an Exception

If you believe the reason for your untimely NOE meets one of the exceptions above, submit your claim indicating the untimely NOE (see the Submitting Claims for Untimely NOEs webpage) and include a 'KX' modifier on the noncovered level of care line.

Identifying a non-MR ADR for an Exception Request

If the information in the REMARKS field is not clear, a non-MR ADR will be generated and the exception request claim will move to a status/location S B6001, and include a reason code 39701 (see screenprint below). Providers are responsible for checking for the ADR'd claim – no other notification will be sent to the provider.

Submitting Documentation for Exception Requests

If the information in the REMARKS field is not clear, and you need to submit documentation to CGS, we suggest that you include a screen print of FISS Page 08, so the documentation can be associated with the exception request for the specific patient and claim.

Rights for Unfavorable Exception Requests

If the review of your documentation does not support the exception request, the days impacted by the untimely NOE will process as noncovered. These noncovered days can be appealed by submitting a 1st Level of Appeal – Redetermination.
