QMB Recipient” have been changed to pay and report effective with date of processing March 13, 2020. Service facility NPI validation has been waived beginning with dates of processing March 13, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
• Edit 07025 – “Rendering Provider Not Affiliated with Billing Provider” has been changed to pay and report effective with date of processing March 13, 2020. The requirement that an individual provider affiliate with the billing organization has been waived beginning with dates of processing March 13, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
