Error Description:

Home Health and Hospice: The statement from/through date is greater than the date of death on the beneficiary master record.

Avoiding/Correcting This Error

Verify the MBI and dates of service.

• If appropriate, correct the information and submit a new claim or update returned claim.
• If the actual date of death was reported in error to the Social Security office, that office must be contacted to correct the date.
• If the beneficiary is still alive, he/she must contact Social Security for an interview as these cases cannot be corrected through the MAC.
