Ok I'm wrong using "will"... got PWK "may not" confused with a few other "will not"s.
Sorry 'bout that.

What I have in front of me are the companion documents from several FIs. And they read virtually identical to one another. An online example...

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 > Except if you are submitting to a CMS FI.
