Fiscal Intermediary Standard System Direct Data Entry Screen Changes – October 2023
The October 2023 quarterly system release was implemented on 10/2/2023 and includes the FISS DDE screen changes identified below.
CMS issued CR 13138 which instructed contractors to expand:
The display screen dimension size to accommodate expanded monetary amount fields related to billing and payment
Monetary amount fields to display and allow provider entry of a dollar amount up to 10 digits ($99,999,999.99) or 11 digits for the total charges fields and Revenue Code 0001 line
Note: As a result of this expansion,
National Government Services is instructing all DDE users to ensure that your DDE screen size is adjusted to 43x80 so you can continue to review and enter claims effectively.
Providers may need to work with your software vendor/system maintainer to make any update needed to accommodate the new screen size requirement.
Providers will need to review any screen scraping programs they have to determine any updates needed to accommodate the new screen size requirements.
