The purpose of this Change Request (CR) is to instruct the Common Working File (CWF) to establish a system edit and an Informational Unsolicited Response (IUR) that identifies instances in which physicians incorrectly use Place of Service (POS) code 32, Nursing Facility (NF) or Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) with no Part A coverage, while a beneficiary is in a covered  Part A SNF stay.
