Top Claim Submission Errors for Home Health Providers: Error 32907
Reason for error: A line item date of service (LIDOS) falls outside of the “FROM” and “TO” dates billed on the claim.
Claim processing result: Return to Provider (RTP)
How to prevent/resolve:
- Verify the line items submitted on home health claims to avoid receiving this error.
Example 1: an episode for March 17 to May 15, 2009 was submitted with a skilled nursing visit dated May 18, 2009 (see the bolded revenue line), which falls outside of the “FROM” and “TO” date on the claim.
- A review of claims failing for this reason code shows episodes which span the calendar year are likely to receive this error. We encourage HHAs to have a process by which they check claims with dates of service that that overlap the start of the calendar year to ensure the correct year is submitted on each line item date of service billed on the claim.
- Use the Fiscal Intermediary Standard System (FISS) Inquiry Option
12 or Claims Correction Menu Option 27 to determine the LIDOS causing
this error. Scroll through the individual revenue lines using
the F6 key on MAP171D. A message, “LINE ITEM REASON
CODES 32907” will appear for the date of service outside of
the “FROM” and “TO” dates submitted on the
claim.
- More information about accessing MAP171D is available in the Inquiry Menu section of the FISS Reference Guide.
- Delete the revenue line with the incorrect date of service. You
will need to add a new revenue line to submit the correct date of
service. Another option is to submit a new claim to Medicare
with the corrected information.
- Information about using FISS to add or delete revenue lines on Medicare claims can be found in the Claims Correction section of the FISS Reference Guide.
