CMS issues transmittal relating to FDA certification to perform mammography services
On December 7, CMS issued a transmittal announcing that claims for mammography services will be denied if the provider is not FDA certified to perform the type of study billed (e.g., the hospital billed for digital studies when the hospital was only certified to perform film studies). Previously, these were processed as "return to provider" claims.
