Error Description:

Hospice: Hospice NOE received to add a new election period with a start date which falls within a previously established hospice election period.

Avoiding/Correcting This Error

When the hospice NOE was received it fell within a previously established election period.

• Verify that the NOE is billed with correct dates.
• If benefit period from the previous hospice is still open, allow that hospice to complete billing before updating the NOE.
