Brian, what is the legislative justification for a CMS FI ignoring the PWK segment? I just checked the HIPAA IG, it says the segment is required if there is paper documentation supporting the claim. I also checked the addenda to the addenda, and there is nothing reversing that. So, how can CMS justify ignoring the segment while still requiring a paper attachment to support the claim? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Young, Brian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 1:10 PM Subject: RE: Paper Attachments to Claims
