Fiscal Intermediary Shared System (FISS) - Modify Total Number of Bills Pending Reports to Exclude Clean Claims Delayed in the Processing System

FISS created reports 372 and 373 to help the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) to report their pending claims by age on the Monthly Status Report (MSR). The reports should exclude claims that were delayed in the processing system. This Change Request (CR) will modify the FISS reports to exclude claims that contain condition code 15. This change will eliminate MAC manual work to back the claims out of the totals on the monthly FISS reports.
