Corrections to the Skilled Nursing Facility Consolidated Billing File for Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System Code J9033 In January 2012, procedure code J9033 (Injection, bendamustine hcl, 1 mg) was erroneously listed as subject to Skilled Nursing Facility Consolidated Billing. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will be correcting this problem with its October, 2012 systems release. Until the fix can be implemented, any claims for this service for a SNF inpatient should be forwarded to your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) for special handling. If you believe you have had a claim for this service erroneously denied for this reason or if you have received a letter identifying as an overpayment a claim for this service that was previously paid, you should contact your MAC and request that the situation be reopened.
