Limiting Numbers of Letters Automatically Generated For Claims Suspended When There is No One-to-One Match of National Provider Identifier (NPI) to Legacy Provider Number
CR 5333 implemented the capability to permit the carriers, FIs, and A/B MACs to opt for having the shared systems automatically generate development letters when a claim suspends because the NPI supplied matches to more than one legacy number and a one-to-one match cannot be made. The capability in the Multi-carrier System results in one letter per claim. This CR will refine the capability such that there will be only one letter per day per provider when the local contractors invoke the capability.
