Attention Medicare Providers: Action Needed to Avoid Claims Submission Denials

Here is What You Need to Know:

• An extra *01 is visible in the member number listed on Medicare member ID cards.
• For example, a Medicare member ID number that should be 999999999*01 was misprinted as 999999999*01*01.
• If providers include the duplicate *01 when submitting Medicare claims in CSC, the claims are rejected.
• Providers should omit the duplicate *01 when submitting claims to avoid rejected claims. 
• We are working to get corrected cards mailed to Medicare members.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
