DMEFree Clearinghouse News Friday February 6th, 2009
Dear DMEFree and RxDME2000 Clearinghouse users,
This note is to bring you up to date on the status of the CEDI reports transfer process.
CEDI has extended the Phase II GenReports introduction until February 27th, 2009.
On that date, the new front end GenReports will contain the claim control# (CCN#) to be issued by CEDI. You will no longer get DMAC Front end reports FOR CLAIMS from the 4 DMACs. You will continue to get CMN reject reports from the 4 DMERCs.
For the last week or so you have been receiving two set's of reports. The DMAC Front end reports and the new GenReports. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT YOU READ AND UTILIZE BOTH REPORTS. Here's why......
The process works like this...
1. You send claims to the DMEFree clearinghouse.
2. We send back an email (or display web page if sent via web) to confirm receipt.
3. Next morning we process your claims and send them to CEDI. We send you a STATUS CODE REPORT which has a number like 1234G743 (your account number a year and day code)
4. The following morning we obtain the Front end reports from CEDI, You should be getting two types of reports at this time.
DMAC Front end report
CEDI GenRpt (Genreport)
5. CEDI processes the claims first. If a claim is rejected it will not send it to CMS Medicare for processing. You will see the rejection on your GENRPT. This report has a glossary at the end to explain what the errors mean.
The claims are then further processed by the individual DMACs (Regions A,B,C,D), you may find additional errors on the DMAC front end report. This is why it's important to review both set's of reports. The edits at CEDI are different than at the DMACs.
After Feb 27th, only CEDI will be editing your claims for errors,, all accepted claims will go to DMAC for CMS Adjudication. At that point if your GenReports has a Claim Control# (CCN#) you will get an ERN/ERA for that claim - paid or denied.
We hope this helps you understand the current situation and helps you catch and identify errors that you were not previously getting.
Have a great weekend
Thank you

New Medicare Front End Reports start today
Dear DMEFree / RxDME2000 Clearinghouse provider;
Medicare and Cedi are getting ready for the January 30th conversion from the 'old' DMAC front end reports to the 'new' Cedi Gen Report.
I have attached the current copy of the Cedi reports manual to this email, it is also available at;
During phase I the DMACs were sending back their front reports with the CCN# (claim control number). During phase II (Jan 30th) it will be Cedi's responsibility to do the front end editing and issuing the CCN#. If a claim has a CCN# , then it goes to Medicare for adjudication.
Cedi didn't have a software program to separate the hundred's of individual reports returned to us in one file. That is the job of this clearinghouse, We wanted to retain the report format to match the Cedi manual, with one exception.
At the end of every report is a "glossary" of the errors with full explanation. Our reason for doing this is to save you time and avoid the nightmare of having to understand what loops and segments are.
If you have any questions regarding these new reports send us an email support@dmefree.com
Thank you
